My Excavator Has A Crack Habit

Repairing the stick on my Hyundai track hoe, for the second time. This time I do a better job of it. These are the joys of old used equipment...
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a professional welder, fabricator, or heavy duty mechanic, I'm just a backwoods bumblefuck getting stuff done with crappy tools and not enough money.

It’ll be fine, just go easy and don’t side-load the bucket

Thanks! I'm not big on tweaking the stick but the farmer I got it from definitely was. He'd even somehow managed to rip the blade off the clean up bucket and tear the floor of the bucket. Fixed that with this dinky welder too...
