Guys,
Looking for some advice on fixing a crack on the lower loader frame on a GB loader. It is on the horizontal frame member that carries the supports the main upright at the bottom where the main loader arm pivots from at the top back to the tractor axle. I have heard to weld the crack then fish plate. Then some say to weld completely around with 30 degree angles at the end with rounded corners and some say leave the ends open, just weld top and bottom. Some say to space weld and leave gaps between the welds on the seams. Some say to weld the crack and just bolt the fish plates. Don't know what is right or wrong for sure, but most of this info has been on vehicle frames not loaders frames. Needing real world farm repair advice. Any help is appreciated and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
