Replacing outer mast on RC5500 TTmast

Have to change out the outer mast for the 2"x4" tube at top of mast has broken right at the weld. Has anyone changed this out and found any unforseen hastles to pass along as to watch out for?

A certified welder can cut the broken tube cross member out and replace. It is actually not that big of a job. It will take several hours to be done correctly and up to OSHA/ANSI standard but doable and probably cheaper than a complete replacement.

It's all just nuts n' bolts.
