    My uncle owns a john deere dealership/ service department. Either him, or one of his employees (top notch welders) are going to weld them on as soon as Revenge Fab gets my gusset plates to me. Just in case he does not have experience with sliders, can someone post pics of their frame where the sliders are welded on. I just want to make sure I fully understand how the frame/gusset/sliders are oriented.

    Thanks!

    Don't have any pictures....but I would recommend welding the sliders onto angle iron or some sort of L bracket with gussets. Then - stitch weld the bracket onto the frame.

    The L bracket will disperse the forces applied on the sliders to under the frame and not on the welds themselves.
