Found another crack in the opposite side. Ground a groove in it and welded. "Should hold".

My weld looks like bird poop.

JB welded the mount back on. I know it's not a fix, but wanted it on long enough to get the diff back in the tractor.
Thoughts on this patch the PO put on. Isn't it going to be in the way when I mount the braces? The braces are down in the basement, and no one is here to get them so I can see if it will be. I'm thinking it's in the way...
