For any of you folks that can weld or know someone who really can weld: jack it up at least a foot, free the bar from the end links, loosen the bushings sufficiently to allow you to move it left and right clamp and tack it and be sure to run good tacks across the face where the 2 pressed together ends meet, run a full pass over everything and reinforce the cracked areas with a multipal stringers. Cost two dollars in welding rod. Keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case. Put a peice of tin between the engine and the bar when you're welding and cover the brakes with a welding blanket or another peice of tin. Wrap the weld with fiberglass and let it slow cool. Took me about an hour 5 years ago, still holding. If you can TIG weld so much the better, no sparks and a much smaller heat effected zone.
