Only took me 72 hours to break my tractor!

Well I got bit by the Branson part department. I am FINALLY back in business after 22 days with a busted FEL. They sent the new part to my dealer and it was the wrong part. They were then going to send me the correct part directly to my house, and they were out of stock. LUCKILY a shipment came in a few days later and I finally got the coupler day before yesterday. They problem is the part came without the locking levers, so I had to drive the 30 minutes to my dealer. In the end my dealer took the coupler off one of their tractors and gave it to me. And I finally have a working FEL.

When welding (any discipline), if the parent material don't show heat discoloration, the weld has not penetrated to the extent where there is proper penetration and adhesion of the parent metal and filler rod.. How it works, MIG is quick and not so dirty (less post weld cleanup so long as the proper procedure is followed and the wire is of good quality), but while a 'glue gun' don't take a ton of skill to weld with properly, it still takes some skill to achieve a proper weld. Pretty don't count, sound does.
