Reweld a cracked cage?

my Powers cage has a crack at one of the welds. the weld thats cracked is located on the front part of the cage where it mounts onto the frame. Recommend rewelding it or will that weld make the material weaker? would it matter if its tig or mig welded for this application?

Re: Reweld a cracked cage?

if its steel or ali it can be welded just make sure to penetrate the metal well if it sounds like bacon frying then its doing good as long as you heat it up use almost full powerr setting but not as much wire you should be in the good

Re: Reweld a cracked cage?

will they actually replace it if it's broken? the first time it broke because their weld was shitty, this time i broke the angle iron on the bottom.
