Yesterday dad rented a tub grinder so we could shred the bales of swamp grass we had left for bedding. After that I got the 285 and 1855 both dualed up and just about ready to go.

Won't be able to haul much manure for a little bit yet though. The loader arm broke off right where it attatches to the bucket. I thought it was cast iron when I welded it the first time so I used NI-Rod, but after working on it andbending the other side back again, I figure it's gotta be cast steel.

Dad used it the 1st day after I welded it and it held up, even in the gravel pile, but the second day it broke again when he was digging in the silage bag.

This time I'll probably use some 6011 with either 7014 or 7018 over the top. Hopefully it'll hold the second time. Atleast long enough to haul out a few loads.

This would be a year to not mud it in with the high cost of in the ground. Cast if I recall your weld post is tuff to get it done first time.

Cast can be tough, espescially where ours is broke. However now I think it's cast Steel, whcih should allow me to use my favorite steel welding rods without any ill effects. I'll have to see if I can find a way to put some reinforcement on it too, but I'm not sure if I can or not.

In the mean time, Dad rented a compact and is falling in love with it. He's thinking about trading in the 165 on it considering all that's wrong with it.....

Is there room to put a plate over it after you get it welded?

Don, have you ever snapped the rear axle on that 285 running duals. Weve had to replace both of ours on a Massey 399 from running duals. Needless to say, we don't use them any more.

BTW, I've never had any luck with cast. only ever had luck with structural steel.

Nope, the 285's been running duals for almost 30 years with no ill effects.

2 years ago I did however catch one of them on the corner of the manure spreader and tear it open so now they're mis-matched.

I've heard that the outside tire should be at least 5 lbs. lighter in air pressure ? That way it wouldn't have all that torque from the outer wheel. My 2 cents..... ..

howdy donover, i really wish i knew what that ment LOL, id like to learn how to weld someday. Were waiting for everything to dry out here too. I got home early today and was working on that cultivator for 3-4 hours this afternoon. Took it all apart, wire wheeled it down to bare metal. Got some primer too, the red enamel stuff.

Make sure you keep a faceshield on, Lanse. Those wires can come loose, and fly like bullets. I had one wire stuck in my belly, that did not come out for a year.. Have fun and be safe..
