Sam, the good news with this is that the welds I did to the shelf angle on the tube, held with no problem, but the angle/steel tore in another place, no sign of it coming off the tube at all, so I think the process, plain ole 7018/DC positive is ok and this is mild steel, well I am pretty sure, not so sure what JD uses. It was not easy to cut off, could not get it in one piece, that sucker was on there, and the replacement is now about the same, I put some fat welds up top, steel will fail first I think.
