an implement frame including a pair of laterally extending fore-and-aft spaced frame members,
said frame including a fore-and-aft extending interconnecting member that extends between the frame members and presents forward and aft ends,
at least one of said frame members comprising a tubular beam presenting forward and aft walls,
said forward and aft walls at least partly defining an interior beam space, with a window opening being defined in a first one of the walls,
a second one of the walls presenting an interior wall surface that partly defines the interior beam space,
said tubular beam receiving a respective end of the interconnecting member so that the interconnecting member extends into and out of the interior beam space through the window opening,
said respective end of the interconnecting member abutting the interior wall surface without extending beyond a second one of the walls,
said respective end of the interconnecting member being welded to the second one of the walls.
