P700 It broke

[Matt700-4]

Not sure the best way to fix this. Looking for some insight it’s a 2014 700-4

There are several threads on this. We can hunt some up here in a bit once i get to my desktop.

This was bad with the 2014 and 15, 700 models.

from your pic it doesn't look that bad....Im not sure of your skill level but it looks easily welded back and ride....Its a common thing Im afraid to say..but I see this on a lot of machines..
From what I see in your pic,I would unbolt that whole side.Then I would grind some of the weld down and try to tap it up some.It doesn't look like it moved to much at all.After that I would reweld it.Alot of these weld breaks are where the weld meets the tube.it called a fusion line.the weld is laid on fast and hot and the tube it still cold.causing a hardened area on the outside of the bead that cools fast and becomes hardened and brittle.When I weld tube like this I like to tack tack tack tack and heat up evenly then grind and hen lay another pass oer the already hot metal....
Now Im guessing your out of warranty and if you don't have the skills needed,or don't feel confident then take to weld shop to look at Cause this would be and easy fix.I also would take a grinder with a wire wheel and go around the others on that side.I would be surprised it that was all that cracked...

I think @Delton shredded one once before I read ...I have a 14 as well and I constanly look for this if I have a few ruff rides

The other side of the one that is broke and pulled a small pice out of the frame. I’m not that good of a wleder but I know a few people that could do it

Cant seem to find any step by step guidance for repair. But any custom weld shop would be able to help you.

Here is a few links but like I said, no good directions.
P700 - Front tires out of lign
P700 - Figured out the steering wheel alignment problem

Before you weld it do you plan on running larger tires in future reason I ask is since you broke that and have to weld you could just cut the others off move everything forward inch half two inches since you gotta fix it anyway

They really need some support on the backside of the brackets too. Cracked weld is driverside and the one torn loose is the passenger side. Bent the bracket pretty good between the rear and front mount. That pic is after I had bent it 1/2 way back into place.

Damn all these posts are making me think I should weld some gussets in before mine break
