I used 7018 to build up my worn spots on my moldboards on my 720 and it wears good. Any time I see wear, I give a touch up. [Reply]  [No Email]

I just vee the crack out and preheat with a torch. I then also slow cool it as well. I have not had any problems with the ones I have done. [Reply]  [No Email]

No shins on this plow. I torched out the sections, torched out patches from mold boards I had around and used my old stand by (7018). I built it up well on both sides and ground it back smooth.

Most of the specialty rod suppliers in welding supplies have displays with small packages of specialty rods. Get the ones that are recommended for welding spring steel, tool steel, difficult to weld steel or unknown types of steel. Those will be similar to a 312 stainless. For the hardfacing check the Stoody site but you need something mostly for abrasion unless you have lots of rocks. Then you want something with a little more impact strength. I'd guess something like a Stoody 35 would work fine. [Reply]  [No Email]
