Yeah, I beveled all sides of the break, but just enough, too much, I would have burned through the joint, welded one side, chipped, brushed, then the other, well I tacked er first so it would not distort. The joint filled in perfectly. The area with the 2 beads of weld, is kind of a slight concave, valley or what you want to call it, so I made 1 pass each side of center to give it more strength, the piece is thick, but not under a lot of stress, just bounces with the 2nd roller, so when I see any thing that will make it hit hard, rock etc. I just slow down, also to prevent breaking those wheels, they get holes punched in them by the darned rocks, they too seem to weld up, as one wheel had some birdcrap blops of weld on it, done by someone else not so proficient in welding, well heck I'm no pro, but am thankful this thing held up to get the job done for my friend, a long time farmer, always getting set back by downtime, help, etc. kind of a bonus if you can weld good enough to make repairs, hard to find any talented help these days.
I can understand the dynamics with metallurgy and how things can react, you really need to know what you are doing sometimes, or welded repairs can and will fail, good to hear all the suggestions and comments, always something to learn.
