B6200HSTE Broken bellhousing mower mount

[deelong4002]

Was working on prepping my tractor for mowing season, and realized that my belly mower mount is hanging on with a hope and a prayer. It must have fractured late in the year last year, thankfully i caught it prior to my grass being 8" long.

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this happen, and might have any advice on a better way to fix it. I have a mig welder, and i'm fairly handy. I'm pretty confident i can repair it. Just looking to see in anyone else has seen this before and might have some advice. I want to reinforce it, so that it doesn't happen again.

Apparently this stupid site won't let me post images because i'm new, so you'll have to paste the link below

Thanks

If we have such a "stupid site" why are you seeking advice on it?

Pretty rude thing to say!

Now as to your issue, that's not an uncommon crack, it's progressed for many a year, grind it down reweld and it will be fine for many a year more.

stupid site uses picture and link limiting till someone proves they are not a spammer...... because of stupid spammers

yeah it sucks. your welcome to become a high dollar sponsor so we can pay for high dollar spam prevention methods that allow us to drop the newbie pic and link posting limitations though.

Jesus, didn't know i was going to personally offend people with a silly comment. Am i just supposed to make 5 junk posts, so that i can ask a simple question that includes photos? I've been a member since 2014, I just don't get on here much, since my Kubota is pretty reliable.

Just seems ridiculous to me that you can't post a link to a photo on here. Pretty easy for people such as yourselves to flag it as spam if the need arises.

Anyway, already fixed it, and i'm going to reinforce it with some additional gusseting. Guess i won't post the pics for everyone else to benefit.

Have a nice day
