There's a good possibility that the crack was caused by water getting inside and freezing. Properly welded up won't need a strap or anything else but you do have to take precautions with repairing a crack on something tubular that is closed off. Stitch weld it and leave a few area's unwelded until it cools off. That might be big enough it won't cause a problem but it's best to play on the safe side. The heat from welding also super heats the air inside the tube and when it is welded solid, creates pressure inside the tube. The pressure can be enough to cause the weld/steel to crack again. Grind a groove in the crack and weld it up leaving a few inches unwelded till it cools. 6010/6011 would be good to get the most penetration but would also produce the most spatter and sparks. I'd use 6010 followed by 7018 but just about any rods would work. I don't think that crack was caused by stress on the loader arms.
