My Great Grand fathers where black smiths. We always used a product called "Stodite" to hard surface plow points. You just heated the point with the forge or a torch until it was cherry red and applied the Stodite like a brazing rod to the surface.
What I use now for loader bucket wear surfaces is a welding rod called "Alcam #93". If you have a welding supply house they should have them on hand. They are a stick welding type of rod. You should be able to buy just a pound or two. You don't need a whole roll of Mig wire laying around.
If you have an old shear laying around you could also build it back up with 10018 welding rod too. They would be harder than the soft steel your seem to be made out of. Then heat the leading edge up until it is cherry red and oil cool it. Just have a steel hog pan full of motor oil and dip the shear in and out of it until cool. Oil cooled will be hard but not brittle like water cooled would be.
