That's really impressive. I imagine how much practice that must take
to get the feel for doing that. That's why we have pros.

Yeah, he admits that he probably wouldn't do the job if it wasn't for a
friend.

Those are the kind of repairs I would like to know about down the road
several years...

I welded up a neighbors broken grass shoe earlier this summer for his
JD #5 Sickle Mower. It was in two pieces and had already been
welded/fixed a long time ago. Cast iron, never tried welding that
before. I bought some Forney Noma-Cast rod to try. Nickle rod is just
way too expensive for my fooling around abilities...

So far it has held together for at least one mow job. I had my doubts
it would even last that long ;-)
