Kevin, You are probably a very good welder and your welds would probably be fine. The issue we have on this forum is that everyone is not of your experience or have your ability. When welding is mentioned it is fine at any level if used on an implement or such which never leaves the farm. If it fails just pile on more weld and give it another try. I'm restoring some old 2 point fast hitch implements and see the quality of welding that most people are capable of doing and in no way is that acceptable for use on components tieing down a tractor for transport on public highways. I just wanted to provide some engineering facts and approach to help those who are less skilled and versed in the safety factors involved. The originator of this thread will likely review all the comments and figure out what is best for them. I truly enjoy reading what Jim has to add to this forum and tried to make that very clear up front. The welding thing cannot be graded until an event occurs that tests it's strength and then it is too late for do-overs, Hal.
