This shows the weld up close, notice the paint match, I think I chose the exact kind of paint as the previous owner because I don't know of any other Murray thats metallic blue.
This shows a little better how the tank is attached, basically a bolt and nut through the tabs and a tube welded onto the back part of the steering column, very simple yet very easy for spot welds to fail.
Still can't notice any difference in paint color or the weld compared to the rest of the bike.
Also here is the paint I used here, best advise is use it outside unless you have special ventilation like I did. Which mostly consisted of a range hood with fan in our basement other projects and I cut along two corners in order to peel a side down on the box giving it side walls and a bottom for over spray. Also use making tape and something to cover the rest of the tank, I used old shop paper towels that I had lying around.
