Hi, to anyone:
I have a Deere 46 inch mower deck probably from a 300 series lawn/garden tractor. I want to repair a crack at the edge of the stamped steel housing. I am not a welder, so I am trying to attach a small steel strap across the crack by drilling and bolting. The deck seems hard to drill, and I would hate to break several small bits making a few 1/4 inch holes. Any advice for drilling with a corded hand drill; what kind of bits, and so on. All advice appreciated.
