I have seen it mentioned here that diamond shaped plates should be used to repair cracked plates on tractors and I have seen diamond shaped plates welded onto structures. In fact, my backhoe was repaired with diamond shaped plates that were welded to the larger arm on my Case 580CK backhoe. These plates were welded in place to repair obvious damage to the backhoe. In fact, I have always wondered if the backhoe rolled down a hill or came off of a trailer while going down a freeway at 70MPH because of the damage to the loader arms and the backhoe arms. However, the only repairs that really seemed professional were the diamond shaped plates. These plates were obviously repairs. They were not part of the original structure.
Thanks,
