A fix? Or replace?

Ripped the entire weld off the frame, is there any way to fix this at all? Happened while reversing over sum branches, tho I think it may have been damaged when I hit a stump earlier, which ended up breaking the steering rack and tie rod.

If the frame is torn, you just need a welder and maybe some plating to reinforce. Don't half send it or you will be back under there again. If it's a headache for you, visit the frame shop I guess.

I might give it a go, if anything at all goes south then yep, frame shop it is lol. Thanks

I agree with the folks above, it can be fixed but It's best to get it checked out by someone experienced with frame repairs. They can tell you what's needed to get it strong and safe again. hope you get it looked at soon

If it's just the bracket or mount that tore off and the frame rail is still solid, you can grind it clean and have it re welded, maybe even reinforced with a gusset or plate. But if the frame itself is cracked or bent where it tore, you're looking at a more involved repair, probably need to plate both sides and box it in to bring back the strength

Thanks for this. Did you end up reinforcing with a gusset or going full box-in repair?
