It turns out that the part with the holes is the gear box cover flange. The
part is welded to the frame for one inch every 4 inches. This seems like an
invitation to corrosion where the two parts touch but are not welded. Is
there some kind of sealer that can be forced into the joint either before or
after welding to prevent future problems like I am seeing now?
