Couple cracks in my frame What now?

[S3Rider]

So I was cutting off the back bracing of my frame found something that has me a little nervous. There was a crack on the frame on the left bar of the triple back bone right before it his the down brace.

I didnt get a chance to take a picture but it is cracked all the way through. I will be cutting on the other side of the down brace to do my hard tail and was wondering if I can put a slug in it and then reweld around the whole crack will that be enough? I feel like it will end up being stronger than what was originally there but just wanted to see if you all had any better options.

Post a pic if you can so we can get a better idea of the place and size of the crack.

It must have gone down hard on the left side at some point in it life. Like I said its getting hardtailed and I will be welding on the frame anyway. I wish the crack was on the back side of the back vertical brace then this would be a non event. The last picture is just of the other crack that it must have got when it went down.

If it's the crack that I'm looking at,it's been there a while,as rust has shown up. Like you say,when you hardtail it,then would be a good time to weld these places too!!! lha
