Sam, the good news with this is that the welds I did to the shelf angle on the tube, held with no problem, but the angle/steel tore in another place, no sign of it coming off the tube at all, so I think the process, plain ole 7018/DC positive is ok and this is mild steel, well I am pretty sure, not so sure what JD uses. It was not easy to cut off, could not get it in one piece, that sucker was on there, and the replacement is now about the same, I put some fat welds up top, steel will fail first I think.
I too am curious about warranty and getting someone from the dealership out here, if it fails again, he's going to have to do that. The only thing I can come up with right now is when I put put it back together, I lifted the wing gang up with his loader, got 2 bolts lined up & in, but the inside one I had to set it down and lower it down from transport, slightly off, but nowhere near close when up in the air, this could be it, maybe something, like the main tube for both wings, is not aligned, raising & lowering, causing stress, something just is not right and I suspect I'll be at this again, wrapped er up around 9:30 last night, greased er up and parked er by the fuel tanks, she's ready, but this still has me concerned.
