Have you welded a kettle with 6011?What do you think peening does?I dont know where I could find a kettle to try it out on or I would.6011 is mild steel rod.Deep penetrating with a lot of slag.You weld short welds and clean the slag every time it will probably work.Go slow,keep it hot,if it cracks you may need to do something different.I also said if you grind it and it throws sparks you can weld it.That means with 6011.This isnt my first time welding something cast.What do you think the difference between 6011 and 7018 is?I try to discourage people from using nickel rod because if I have to fix it I have to grind all of that nickel off to weld it.Since I learned you dont need nickel rod a lot of times I quit using it.I might look around and find a couple of nickel rods if I had to use nickel,but everything cast Ive welded for a long time worked with 6011 and 7018 or MIG.If it doesnt throw sparks when you grind it then maybe nickel is all that will work.If 7018 will work so will a MIG.I dont know about a TIG because I havent welded with one very much.I have welded lots of rods and MIG.If it doesnt work try something else.If you can weld it with 7018 and a buzz box there is a good chance you can weld it with 6011 and a buzz box.And no matter what you weld it with,even a torch,you need to peen the weld.I dont make a living welding cast,but thats what I know from welding cast.You might have a different experience.If it wont work,it wont work,I have tried to weld stuff that I couldnt weld and took it to a professional to fix.Maybe 2 times in my whole life and only one of those was cast.I have found some stuff 6011 wouldnt weld or if it did it cracked real bad but it wouldnt throw sparks when you hit it with a grinder either.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. 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
