And old friend taught me many years ago on repairs like that with NO grinding and 100% penetration . On rainy saturdays myself and his son in law would attend john's advanced welding classes . He was a Welder for forty years and did all kinds of heavy welding . To watch this man with a stinger in his hand was pure art as he could control a rod like i had never seen . I learned how to weld when i was 14-15 and spent many hours rebuilding idlers and roller shells then on to installing weld on Sprockets , can not tell you how many feet of grouser stock i put on track pads as i could get one side done on a D 8 by myself in a day , thought i was pretty good till i meet John . Once you learn rod control and know your welder you can do this . And never pick up a chippen hammer. I have repaired many disc arbors and never put a grinder to them , tac in two places and start welding and washing your way down thru and start the build up controlling your heat by choking the rod if your running to hot and if to cold pull back .

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
