I welded the block of the Kohler engine in my old JD 214 garden tractor with my MIG using standard .035 steel wire. It lasted several years until the connecting rod went a second time, hitting the exact same spot. I had had enough on JD"s by this time and sold it for parts and started using a old beat up Murray that a friend had given me. It cut circles around the JD.
Anyway, I found a posting on smokstak.com about using a special cast iron MIG wire from http://www.crownalloys.com/products.php.
I also read a few postings about doing the stitch method with brass screws. Is this a viable option or are the pins at locknstitch.com that much better? I have a huge drawer of brass bolts so my cost would only be time. locknstitch isn"t listing pricing on their site but they do mention that the kits can cost from $100 to $8000.
