Hydraulic tank leak

Treemulcher, I've PM'd you. My 140 is going into the workshop tomorrow to get the tank repaired, so if anyone else has the info on what has to be done could you send it to me PDQ.
Thanks in advance
Tony

Tony and APSmulching: files sent as per your PM's. I hope they help you with the repairs. At least you can see how Rayco designed their plates to re-enforce the stressed areas. It's a lot of work to pull the cab and do the repairs but it is well worth it if you like the machine as well as I do.

So I found this crack on the hydraulic tank yesterday after the cab was removed. It's been welded before but I can't remember it getting done,( must be getting CRAFT:confused2. Anyway the weld had cracked and the spilt had continued along the tank past the cab mount and past the bolt hole for the seat plate, about 9-10" in all.
