Driver ran this tractor into the ditch. He's fine, absurd cost to get it recovered and towed back. Most the damage is very minor, bent bumper, new coolant leak, some busted clamps.

But while inspecting we found this dent in the frame rail.

It's so minor, and right behind cab. Wording is no cracks or welds. Is this tractor done? No way we are getting approved for a new frame to repair this.

EDIT: well seems the intelligent consensus is this is not an in house fleet tech repair. Too serious to just ignore, and this is a 15 year old tractor when 90% of our fleet is replaced every few years. I doubt this will get sent to a specialist body/alignment shop, but those decisions will be made well above my level.
