My new to me 48" xi series recycler overall appears to be in pretty darned good shape but it's had quite a bit of welding! I see no signs of a crash or other damage so I can only assume stress cracks but man! Major! The wheels show signs of usage for sure but I'm still surprise by all the welding! Is this just more common than I think? What else could it be? I got some serious grinding to make it look good again but then I'm a bit afraid to grind all of it off? Welded both sides but not enough heat for my liking. Weld stands pretty proud of the surface.
