Well, it's back.
When I got my pt there was always a wet spot where the lid meets the oil tub. I thought it was related to diesel dripping down from fill ups.
3 years ago I looked hard at the issue and noticed a crack. I took it to the local welder and for a princely sum he welded it up. Now the crack is hairline and runs down the tub marbe half an inch.
Well, it's back. So I went to my neighbor who is a heavy machine mechanic, he chuckled, said he felt it was a design flaw ( a high stress area not well reinforced). He and I will re weld the crack, then put angle iron from the edge of the tank to mid tub.
Will get photos as we go.
