    Cracks are usually not that bad to repair....providing they are not TOO BIG. Now for the bad news: Often you need to remove the frame to gain access for the repair.

    There is a learning curve to plastic welding. I'd suggest lots of practice before trying the real thing.

    Thanks for the info.. This unit was sitting for 11yrs so it might not hurt to take it apart to the frame and do a complete rebuild on it.

    I'd drain the fuel out of the fuel tank, then start it up and run it till it quits. Then drain the oil from the engine. Roll it over so the bottom is up. Make sure you put some blocks under it so it doesn't damage the steering.
    You can now weld on it all you want and there is nothing in the way. Just make sure the fuel tank is dry.
