Jim,
The pictures show (in my opinion) a broken frame member. It does not appear be along a weld. It looks like a clear break in the main metal frame member. Metal fatigue?
Thanks for the pictures... It is amazing how much they add!
Good luck. Dennis

I know "things happen," but somehow this does not seem to be one that should happen????? So, what's the fix?

Some time back there was a MOC member had that channel replaced with a thicker channel. I don't remember how long ago that was I believe that the welder did it in the CG?? That channel looks from the pics to be torn and something like that needs a new channel, I would not try to re-weld or do a patch job on that area.
