[TheForge] broken weld on mower deck

[J. Petrila]

do it cold.. If it bent cold, bend it back cold..  If the parts are worn
from surface abrasion then add a new patch in..

Mig welding, A/O is perfect or tig welded depending on what kind of fix..
MIg or Tig will give you the least clean up before repainting..

I've fixed maybe 20 mower decks with wheels and supports knocked off or
bent..  Not one of them was a simple straight forwards fix..

Each one needed to be slit here or there and then massaged back into
position before final welding..

I couldn't bring the pictures up but overall it's a pretty straight
forwards job unless it's been ran over by a Mack truck..
