Want to know if the bolster on an 860 ford is made of steel.A member on the forum sent me a picture of the bolster on his tractor. Looks like the bolster on his tractor has the bottom part of the bolster welded to the other two parts
I need to do some welding to secure the axle pin. Threads where the pin screws into the bolster are gone. I do not have a wire feed welder. Have a
DC welder and I usually use 7018 rod if the metal is clean. Also use 6011. Would like some suggestions regarding how to weld the pin to the bolster. Type of rod and is it best to use a wire feed welder which I do not have? Would like to know if brazing would be best direction for me to proceed.
Have been unable to find a used bolster. Want to make repairs, get the tractor back in service and continue looking for a good bolster.
