I tried people, I really tried to let this go. But I got to thinkin' this evenin', had some slow lathe work to do, and it gets dangerous when I start thinkin'. You engr types, brtx, Jerrymt, two cents, bushhogger, please go back and read my first post again. Start at the sixteenth word, bear down, really bear down at the 25th word. Those two sentences say it all, Try it once more with feelin', Go slow, seems I'm tryin' to say, "been told it's cheaper to replace them." Do you boys have trouble readin' or understandin'. Might try Hooked on Phonics, could help you. If you could have just understood, "Been told it's cheaper to replace them," The rest of the post would not have been necessary. Talkin' about tryin' to let this go, I can't be pulled very far, won't be pushed at all.

So thinkin' about this wonderin' what I said to stir up the sand in you boys duoch water, I wonder could it be territory. A bunch of years back got called out to do some weldin' on a broke down land rig. Cold rainin' freezin'. D6 had to pull my 1 ton the last 2 miles, started around 1 am cuttin, weldin', layin' in the mud, oil, grease, diesel fuel, 'til 4PM same D6 pulled me out, stopped at a honkey tonk in Pistol Thicket, Louisiana to drink a little Jim Beam and listen to the juke box. Get a hot super. Got in a scrape with three red necks, got lucky, won, later asked the bartender what I said to give the boys friction. His reply, maybe you got in their territory. You people feel like I got in your play pen, is that it?

Some of you just don't understand, I didn't say harden the complete blade. just an area maybe 1 inch deep 6 inches long. The edge. If you knew anything about metalurlgy, you'd know the area close to the weld, due to the heat, would be softer, and more ductile than the original blade.

Granted. . I've never mowed the acres Indy Dirt Farmer has. Mr Farmer brings a point forward I'd never thout of. Bears more discussing, Thank you, Sir. Again, I didn't say harden the complete blade. Just the edge. Would like to hear more of your views, sir. Very valid points.

brtk, not sellin' anything. Since the 80's I've had all the work I could stand up to. Stopped taken deposits on custom knives and custom guns 10 years back.If I dropped all other interests, and just built guns and knives, I'd never catch up in this life time. God has blessed me. And you, sir, resent my 3 titles, how small of you.

JT, sir, Very good reply, thank you, I learned from your post.

George, sir, You are right, if it needs more than one layer you've got to use a build up rod. Lincoln used to reccomend somethin' other than 7018, but I don't remember what.

Concernin' lettin this go, I'll stay here now until a moderator dropp kicks me through the goal posts of cyber space. Maybe we can help brtx and the others to read and comprehend.

Rave on Engr types.

Thank you,
God bless you,
Wild Bill Caldwell
