I have a new Del Morino 48" tiller. Due to new owner mishaps, I have gouged the edge of a couple of tiller blades. Thinking of welding up the gouged edges - using a stick welder (smaw) - and grinding it to original condition using a flappy disc on a small angle grinder. I'll use a backing plate to weld on, and then grind off the backing plate after I have laid the weld beads.
I know it's less trouble to just replace the blades - but I just want to gain the satisfaction of doing a good repair job.
My questions are - 1) is it possible, 2) if so, what is the best electrode classification should I use for what I guess is spring steel, and 3) is a 6013 electrode ok to use for this type of work.
Thank you.
