T-bone, appreciate you're lookin in on this one, what happened was the bolt on the opposite arm came out, the arms hold the 2nd roller, so when that arm fell off, there was just one, so that axle with the packer wheels was only held one by one and it just opened up on the one side, like a lever and pried or snapped the piece in 1/2, and was as the previous post was. I tack welded the nuts on the bolts, so I can't get the arm off unless I cut it off with a torch in the field, be better to get that implement back to his shop, so I could do that, because I'm not as good with vertical or other positions besides flat.

I sprayed the repair with cold zinc galv spray, so I could monitor the area. Also, the other photos may be misleading, I did make several passes, I think 3, and the area where the double bead is, is kind of curved, so I did the root and next passes, then kind of fillet welded the area to get more surface area of weld, kind of tying it in like a "T" with the wide portion being on top, I alternated passes on either side of center and left as you see it.

What you are saying is to plate the area that would be the same as the web of an I-beam, not the area that would be like a beam flange, (photo where I vee'd/ beveled the edges)

I have to run this thing today, if she cracks, we will have to bring it back to the shop, but boy that material seemed to really take that 7018, no crack pop or spatter at all, went in real nice and you could tell there was no porosity. I did pre-heat a little when I welded it, but had no tool to measure the temp, supposed to be 400-450 F ?

Thanks to you and all who helped, I'm hoping I can finish these last fields for him and transport across and down the roads back to his shop, might be able to plate it then, or take the tractor path back to my place, as my machine is back there now.
