What was found

MOUNT HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND SIGNED OFF ON SB 227-71-008. HOWEVER, WHEN RECEIVED IN THE SHOP, THE REAR TRUSS MOUNT WAS NOT WELDED. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE IF THE MOUNT IS WELDED BY DOING SB 227-71-008 AS IT IS CALLED OUT. CAN EASILY BE MISSED. IF NOT REPAIRED, TRUSS CAN CRACK AT NON-WELDED AREA.
