A couple pages back, when this subject came up, I said I boxed in the channel iron. The pic shows different. I laid a 1/4 by 4 on top of the channel to reinforce it. That way the axle u-bolts can be the same length as the ones that hold the fender on. There are two bolts on the front bracket- one goes inside the JD weldment. The channel makes an excellent step for getting on the tractor. I also added 1/4 by 2 plates to the 2x2 portion of the subframe that goes alongside of the engine. Most frames that I have seen have been welded in that area. When the engine mounting bolts break, they are not noticeable because they are covered up by the subframe. How do you know they are broken? When you see the muffler move slightly side-to-side and the hood remains steady. Makes you think you are seeing things! Might also consider replacing front wheel hubs with those from a 4020. They are a bit thicker all the way around, not just at the bolt holes.
