jus took apart my 900h to install the new drag washer and clean it up, and a piece of my frame jus fell out..... i bought it off ebay, is there any way i can weld this back? or any adhesives u guy think would work?

My first thought would be returning it.

First, the frame is cast aluminum so welding probably won't work. Second, if you are talking about the bottom piece that the reel seat is on, it's supposed to come out. Pictures or a description of the piece that fell out would be a big help. Sealine parts are relatively cheap compared to Penn parts so give Daiwa a call and price the frame or like Shark Hunter said, send it back.

ive had it a while and when its assembled it holds tight, my buddy even landed a few seven foot blacktips on it..no prob..

Are you talking about the side plate? If so, it only costs $11.23. If it is indeed the frame, it only costs $28.53, new. This is still a better reel than the Chinese 115, IMO.
