Cracks can start at the crater. Even better is to start the weld at each end and overlap the craters in the middle. Cracks don't normally start in the middle and it's easier to start at an edge than finish a weld at the edge, especially if it is thinner or beveled like yours was. Probably was cast steel. Cast iron usually leaves a rougher looking bead. It should hold for 40 acres. Did you use 7018? Dave
