Welding a plow edge....

I haven't been on the board since you all helped me get the '52 SC running about 3 years ago.

My friend bought a farm and is having a great time with his animals and various pieces of equipment. He's a contractor and this winter he used his draft horses to skid out some logs for a construction project after the tractor got stuck. Beautiful thing.

Question: He broke the "tip"(I'm sure you have a name for this part) off of a 1 bottom, walk behind plow that gets pulled behind the horses. He was using his tractor at the time. The tip has an ingenious single bolt mount and slides right off. The point is broken off and I want to weld it for him but want to use the right setup. It says IH with a "C" around it and has the numbers 0-640 and "CHILLED" on it. I assume this is the heat treatment.... What rod or technique should I use and will I ever be able to make this piece strong enough. Thanks, C.

You need to know whether it is cat iron or cast steel I would assume that it is cast steel. Use the correct rod and arc weld it. I done lots of them with no problem. To tell the difference just grind a piece of it cast iron will come off in red balls and steel will show a shower of sparks. The more and brighter the sparks the more carbon there is in the steel.

Thanks Walt. From the little bit of research I did (wikipedia), the "chilled" reference points toward rapidly cooled cast iron. This "white" cast iron has harder cementite on the surface rather than graphite as with grey cast iron. Good for wear items...

Crispin,

Do you have the piece that is broken off or do you need to fabricate one? A cast iron plow share needs to be welded with oxy/acet and cast iron rod (cast iron in in stick form). Arc weld is not a good choice for that application .

I do have the piece. I figured it was something harder than cast iron. I have used cast iron welding rods for electric welding cast iron in the past and it worked OK. I have no experience welding with gas, only brazing. I would like to learn so I could try. Otherwise I will probably "arc" weld it with the proper rods... Is that 0-640 info familiar to you and what rod do I get for gas welding?

Thanks, C.

Cris, Go to your local welding supply that has harris-
welco and get a can of 800 flux and a bundle of
bare cast iron rod (kastweld 111 ) . Send me a phone # in the email and I'll give you a short
coarse in how to . Also I think MG welding
supply has it .
