Muggy weld rods, Do I dare??

Ive been checking into lock and stitch pins for the the cracked water jacket on the ole 18-27. Seems the best but expencive and a lot of work. Was all ready to order a kit. Then today I was reading a post on the J.D. forum and they were discussing Muggy weld rods. So far it looks like an option, but Im worried because if it does not work I may not be able to use the pins after. It is supposedly guarenteed not to re-crack and is machinable

Any opinions?

Check out the videos on their site.

• Muggy Weld

If you weld it and it fails , you will

not be able to drill and tap it . The weld

in the fusion zone will be harder than the

drill and tap. That's why I told you to lace

that crack.

Oh
I was pricing the lock stitch pin kits at a different Co. It was well over $100 for the kit I would need. I will call the kwik-Way Co. tomorrow. They claim that new rod does not require preheat but Im pretty sceptical. I will try to get over there and drill my depth hole in the next couple days

• LOCK-N-STITCH

Will call Kwik-Way about their stitch pins. I re-read my post and noticed I had worded it like they sold the rods.
