Oh I can. Me me me. I did a course and everything. Used to work on car shells for MOT so am a demon with the MIG. Still do it in me wellies though so that's still amusing to watch I expect when the spark heads down one of them.I've not met a farmer that can weld yet.
IMO
Any fool can weld up new nice shiny steel, it takes real skill to join two different types of metal covered in sh!t and rust with ropey old rods and a dodgy welder on the end of a two hundred metre 2.5 mm extension cableI've not met a farmer that can weld yet.

Weren't many days we didn't have some yokel or two come in and ask for a couple of bits of rust welded together
That is a very good point and one I keep forgetting. Getting too big for my very big boots. You know what they say though. Big feet......Your not a farmer though. Your a lad with a few hens
A good weld is one that don't fall apartI've not met a farmer that can weld yet.

So that makes a farmer better than the so called German experts at claas

You know you are correct. It was bizzare I was stood next to it when I read Henry's post so climbed under to take the photo. "Wow, that looks rubbish" I thought. Weird as my bro did it and he is a far better fabricator than me.
Doesn't help being under the pressure of blocking a UK road with swearing arseholes all around I suppose.

It's held so must have got good penetration, saying that I'd have plated it .
It's held since the crap harvest of 12
It was odd. We bought it at about 13 years old from a BFF member (also on here) from Darlington way. Then both stub axles broke off. Maybe we grow heavier wheat darn sauf?
I am called Steve by the way
and cant see the photo very well, one of the axle brackets let go on my baler when we looked the welding had only penetrated one bit of metal, the farmer where I was working welded it up and that held till two new brackets turned up they were no better so I got the dealer to weld them before fitting them
