So the last few weeks I have been working with one of the company's concrete crushers. Normal procedure to clean the fines from around the tail pulleys is take a piece of 3/4 inch road plate chained to forks on the loader and push it in and pull it out to clean debris. Problem is the plate ( 5'x8') is all over the place. Slides off the forks and is a pain. So I was in the shop Monday and cut steel to make 4 u shaped fork pockets for the plate. I left them there and the company welder fabbed them up for me and I am going to weld them on the plate Monday morning. Problem is I have never welded anything that thick. Any suggestions ? I will be using a miller bobcat and 7018. This will be on site also. Don't think the company welder wants to come out and play in the cold so it's up to me. I have welded plenty of 1/2 inch but this is 3/4 and will have a fair amount of stress. Thanks in advance !
