I had to replace the ice door flapper on the refrigerator this morning, so I didn't get back to the blade till after lunch. The homemade brackets that hold the push arms

to the rear axle were too big to use, so I got one side cut down and welded back up and installed this afternoon. Next step is to cut the cross brace off of one side to get the other push bar the same height and then weld it back on and then I can cut the other bracket down and make it fit.

Don't want to be a smart arse but I think you should pre-heat the metal or turn your welder up about 30 amps.---Tee
 
Ya-Pre-heat. It involves warming the metal you are going to weld. the reason I do it on thicker jobs is to reduce warping and the main reason is to increase penetration. I either use a torch but most of the time I tack weld it real good and let the heat dissipate for 30? seconds and then weld it. When the last pipeline came through our farm in 99 I would go out every morning with the three wheeler and see what they were doing. When the welding crew came though they had 2 people with those big "weed burning torches" to pre-heat the pipe. When they had it to the temp they wanted they would set the doghouse over it and mig-weld it. The torch also takes the impurities out of the metal.---Tee
