I know about needing to be cleen.....I got the cracked area cleaned this evening. A neighbor is getting me a small grinder tomorrow so I can grind out the crack a little so it will be ready to weld. The original weld has a 3" long spot where the weld did not penetrate very much......causing it to fail.

Bruce......thanks for the PM.
I all ways thought southside welding was pretty reasonable, now southside machine works is right around the corner and they are pricey, they do alot of our work at the plant.
