Hey guys, been out awhile learning how to be a daddy. I have to say, it's been pretty awesome . But I haven't touched the welder in awhile and some of you know I'm pretty dang new to this stuff. Anyhow, I made an oops using my light duty scrap blade behind my bigger tractor doing something I shouldn't with it and yep, I bowed it like a pretzel. Lol. I got it pretty straight and decided to beef it up and repaint it. While wire brushing the paint and rust spots I found some stress cracks (again my fault) on the frame. Here is a few pictures, I ran a pretty hot root pass with 6011 overhead (proud of this one) with 3 passes of 7018. That should hold her down tight. I've read and heard people say give them these two rods and they can be a happy stick welder, I understand that now. I'm pretty dang favorable of my 6011's honestly.
