That's all really.:o It's a skill every farmer should have. I learnt it in ag college. Even though they showed us welding in about 2 hours over the whole green cert.:cool: But it never leaves you once you get the knack. There's no shortage of broken things to weld on a farm.:pac::D

A good tip for anyone buying a used plough is buy a 4 or 5 furrow and hopefully there is enough good parts for 3 bodies. Had the big sockets out yesterday. The eagle eyed will have spotted the 'resource pile(s)' in the backround:o I have a bad case of blue paint disease.

Nekarsulm wrote: » No pic. Delaney, but if its less than 30 years old, almost certainly fibre cement. Older stuff from the 50's could easily be asbestos. Don't cut it with an angle grinder or any powered tools, other than that, its inert. EDIT. Picture there now. I would bet that's fibre cement. Never saw asbestos with those sharp radius's.
