[VAC] Re: Buying Axles

[James Clark <jec1938@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A suggestion on any welding done on the frame channel.... Only weld in the 
long direction of the frame channel... Experience with a machinery 
construction company indicated that welding done "across" the channel 
caused cracks in the channel to develop after use and when the welding was 
confined to the "long direction" the cracks did not develop... This 
experience goes back to the time when the frame channels were manufactured 
and should be relevant...Current metallurgy may have changed the need to 
confine the welding to the "long" dimension...
