Went ahead and split it, going to take it to the welding shop and get it beefed up!

I was going to do that but I have one large piece that is missing, I was going to have them build it up on the inside.    Thanks for the ideas!:text-coolphotos:

Add 1/4" to the trans bolt length to compensate for the material added. ;)

 

Sorry Dave, you already covered that item.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

@edgro and @daveoman1966 that's a couple of brilliant repairs there.

 

Nice work.

The original design lasted over 40 years. Get a professional welder to weld it back like it was, and it should last at least another 40 years. A mobile welder could come to you and do the job.

I split the tractor and took it to a welding shop.  They cut off all the old and made it all new.

Thanks ebinmaine. That square plate was a pre-cut I found at the local Alro Steel store

Last time there they were raising prices, but they gave me the old price,

so I got a stack of them to do the rest of the fleet as needed

this is what I made to fix problem area of C120. I used longer bolts, and the thin piece was for the top set of bolts where there was no factory reinforcement

Great repair, but is that an transmission oil filter on the left side of the picture?  If so, i wonder how old it is???

Good Eye. that's what I thought also. I recently got this tractor for cheap, it had a good sounding  non smoking motor. the frame was folded in the middle, broken at the trans mount, and otherwise all cobbled up by PO. Surprisingly enough the trans is pretty well non leaking, including that filter, and It ran and seemed to drive OK.  Rather hard to shut the hood with the bent frame. I had a B80 frame in my parts supply that was not broken and was of similar patina (rust), and so thus began another project. I actually did not need the frame repair plate on this, but I put one on anyway, and painted it flat brown to blend in with the color scheme. Yes, the trans filter gas been replaced
