earlier this week i noticed that the chaffer and sieve frames were beginning to get stress cracks in them. took the sieves out and had a welder come out and weld them back up. the bottom sieve seemed to be the worst that i could find/see. it was cracked at the rear corner on each side. i know this is pretty common on these machines, just wondering what kind of luck to expect out of welding them up??? i didnt want to take the time to gut it and put in new frames so this was the best choice for the time. the upper one was cracked about midway to the front on the left side. i looked at all bushings and bolts and they appeared to be in good shape. i have noticed that Abilene Machine makes and after market frame for each and its advertised to be heavier built than the oem one has anyone ran one of these and what kind of luck did you have???
