The repair is still good today.

PS. Now that I think about it, this tractor was being loaded into the back of a pickup truck, one board broke and flipped the tractor on it's side. Broke the grill and bent the seat. Broken arm for the owner (wasn't me).
And that's why I will never drove anything up ramps. one of our customers at work had that happen to him last week, when he hit the ground his elbow shattered. OUCH!!!
