It has been a while but I seem to remember using 1/8" copper coated welding rod, the type welding shops sell for oxy/acet welding, with good success.

Saved, Thanks!

Yesterday I buried a big horse for a neighbor with my T6!

I don't, but someone here does. Bobby Harper shows up sometimes, he used to work there and is a wonderful source of information. He is seen sometimes in the FB groups. Post a photo of your machine, no roll bar, one roll bar to 2?

Look under the steps on the frame. I forget which side.

Agreed

Picking at a stump, outside was rotten but center was solid! Yeah, I was pleased my welds from a couple years back held.

Rosebud, sledge hammer and 30 ton press , it's straight and welded now. Will reinforce the back side before putting back in service.

Is there room to get a big pipe wrench on it with a long cheater pipe on the handle for leverage? Heat on stuck nuts is alway a good thing, just be ready to extinguish the fire if the old grease catches.

Thanks Dart, you're "The Man."

So, my machine last week after a couple of hard work began activating the glow plugs. The result is a rattling noise, I suspect pre-ignition. As a stop gap I plan to put a toggle switch in the power wire to the glow plugs. Only have a manual for T-9. It gives P/N 70038 which is I'm guessing a...

I think the whine is normal on these machines, I wear ear plugs because it's annoying. I had a T5B for many years and never felt the curl was lacking. See the photos. My T6 also has only one curl cylinder and I'm quite happy with it as well. Could be your cylinder needs a ring kit.

Thanks, you were lucky to get to add material for a good fit. Believe me removing material inside the V of those hard shanks was a challenge.

Thanks all, but I just couldn't do it asymmetrically. The cutting and welding was a pleasure compared to grinding all the shanks to fit my slightly thicker bucket lip than what they were meant for. Yeah Old and tired, I didn't even attempt to dicker. There was rust but no wear, used just enough...
