Yeah its a weld failure for sure that whole section is welded on its kind of odd that the builder did it that way. Its a solid piece from that weld back then that broken weld, then like 8 more inches of straight tube with the indicator light then another weld with the front triangle welded on...

I recently picked up this trailer with a break in the frame. The frame is square tubing and is 3/8 inch thick. It is cracked on the bottom and both sides but holding together at the top. I have a 220 Volt Mig welder. My thoughts are to try to jack it up to align it straight then tack the...
