On the one I welded I Just welded one small rust hole and a tiny crack that was up against the actual casting. So the areas I welded were not in stressed areas.

Since yours was badly cracked I would say it is ready to give out on you any minuite.

When I welded up the cracked Crossmember on the Body. I welded up the crack and then I welded two 1/8" thick Plates over the Crack to spread the stress over a large area of the Plate.
