I have snapped a king pin on my cockshutt 30.It is a clean break just above the elbow that has the spindle.Rust half way through tells it's been cracked awhile.Should I attempt welding it?If so,what would be the best method?(mig,tig&stick avalable)
Thanks
Al

I welded one several years ago, it is still OK.....But I can't see the part and I don't know how good a welder you are....First lay the two parts out on somethimg(I used my metal welding table)outline it with a magic marker....then you will know you got it back at the proper alignment.....Grind both pieces to a blunt point....(point about 1/2" across)your penatration will take care of that....I only had a AC welder,I used 6013 rod,at a 130 setting....burn in two good spot welds on each side..now one on top...let it cool,so it will stay together while you trrn it over....burn a good spot on that side...chip and clean good....now weld a bead all the way around the part,weld right through the spot welds as if they weren't there.....lay the part in your drawing to see if it fits..... now lay a heavy bead just above that one...right next to it(1/2 on 1/2above the first pass)all the way around the part....now lay one around the bottom side....chip and clean....next pass goes over the first and between the last two....melting them all togeather.....check alignment....now chip and clean...now lay a bead around the top end then one around the bottom...work your way to the center where you started....chip and clean....now maybe you can turn the heat up on the welder,you want good penatration with all the welds.....keep doing this until you have the repair one bead bigger than the part was to start with....align the part within the drawing....heat and align with torch and big hammer.....clean it good hit it with a little paint ....you got it....good luck...be sure it is welded by a good welder who understands penatration.....

Almost anything is weldable BUT, have you tried to find a used one? If I were to weld it I believe I would use a mig welder. Less heat for less distortion and less likely to change the metalugry a great deal.

My .02 cents worth
