I would consider the path that the current must flow when welding on a piece of equipment. If the current must flow through a bearing or even a movable joint the there could be microscopic arcing that may or may not cause premature failure. People that are new to tractors and/or new to welding may never have really given much thought to all of this and it never hurts to hash it around a bit. I have learned so much from the wisdom of the TBN braintrust and for that I am always grateful.
