Just for giggles

Thought I'd post this little repair request that I got about nine years ago. Fella on an acreage had an older Belarus tractor with blade/bale spear apparatus on the front. He'd been trying to patch it up to make it useable, had been "welded" a few times before. looked at it, told him there's no fixing that. Definitely needs replacement. He had remove the arms and cut out the offending piece to prep for a new bit to be welded in. Made up a new elbow, added his reinforcement plate and welded it all together using my Dynasty 200dx. A little unusual but he was an engineer so who am I to question him? Has worked flawlessly for blading and feeding his horses.

Hey, how did you get my welding project?!?!

Seriously, I did have a rear blade that came like that for $50... once it finally broke/fell off, I ended up grinding all the crap off of it (and put my own crappy weld back on...)
