Brian01 481 #4 Posted October 2, 2015 If it's not too bad, find someone with a wirefeed welder that knows how to use it(lol) and have them weld it from the backside, grind it smooth and repaint 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,857 #5 Posted October 2, 2015 Lay a piece of copper or brass on the top side to act as a heat sink when you weld the bottom. then turn it over and weld and grind the top as Brian says. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazyhorse 0 #7 Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Thank you for the welcome, I appreciate it.The Wheel Horse B85 seat pan is not metal.It is some type of plastic.It does not hinder me from using it, but I am wanting to either repair the cracks or buy one with no cracks.I also have a Wheel Horse Work Horse ( since it was about 3 months old) that has a METAL seat pan that looks the same as the B85 PLASTIC seat pan, so I would think those would interchange.Please give me advice on the other models that would work on the B85.I am not capable of posting pictures, sorry.I am thankful to find this site and again thank you all for the warm welcome.If I post something wrong PLEASE delete it.

Brian01 481 #8 Posted October 3, 2015 If it is plastic, there are all kinds of repair products out there...Epoxy, Plastic Weld, Etc., ifjust small cracksi would try one of them, be sure to use something that is sandable and printable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikekot3 92 #13 Posted October 3, 2015 SEM products makes autobody oriented panel bond adhesive, quick 50 second tab repair, and another 5 minute setup version.You need their special dual cartridge caulking gun to operate it. I use quick 50 very often for repairs. Be sure to buy extra mixing nozzles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
