Can it be welded, and can I do it?

[@williamthrasher8540]

good job glad to see you back on youtube

[@rwiliamson8051]

Nice to see you back.

[@juliantaylor1849]

That should out last us all. Good to have you back 😊

[@Rustinox]

Yes, that will hold. Nice to see you back on RM channel.

[@zJericho101z]

I do love me a high quality bodge repair! thanks for sharing.

[@AlexandrosNikolakis]

I always love your videos!!

[@craigtate5930]

As you were starting the weld on the Crack I was thinking to myself about fitting another piece of steel in behind to strengthen it, and sure enough you did 😉 great minds think alike they say, I just don't know how that works across different languages though..lol

[@pickwizard-aka-Stevie]

Nicely done, it works 👍

[@miro6138]

That part was clearly stamped out of the sheet metal, it can't be a cast iron

[@BUILDNIGHT]

Good save, bud!

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

You must have 220v AC house current. It makes welding work much better AND motors to run easier than our 115 v AC in the US. If you cut the grass real low it will die and you won't have to cut it again for a while.

With successful completion well within your grasp... rain! :)

Nice work. Would have been a great job with a Tig.

That's the first time I ever saw a lawnmower bump started!.

[@MarkATrombley]

To fix glare inside the welding helmet I recommend clipping a long piece of cloth to the top of the helmet so you can throw it over the back of your head like a hood to block out light. Kind of like the first photographers did.

[@VtwinGuy5]

I did 5he same thing to my helmet, works great!

[@JonDingle]

Pressed steel part young man. Tidy repair too!

[@someotherdude]

yeah, not cast iron. Might be just that it's not RM's native language.

[@jagboy69]

I don't wanna see you fix the handle... I wanna see you weld the blade back together!

[@someotherdude]

why not add some extra plat steel where it can fit? And just drill through to maintain the bolt holes. Otherwise the handle will break same place before long. Welding is the last thing I need to learn, I know nothing about it. The knob halfway up that keeps loosening: flatten some of it's threads by simply squeezing them with a visegrip. This will make enough friction to keep it from rotating.

FKKK'n machines ! Nice fix ;) One fix always seems to lead to more problems ! ? "He's BAAAAK ~"

I few days ago I had to weld my dads lawnmower together, the sheet metal that holds the engine was full of holes, and it was very rusty, had to patch it up with pieces of sheet metal and some body filler, the result was questionable ...

[@DolezalPetr]

you can add copper wire to the weld while welding to make the weld softer so it does not crack, works great on cast parts, you can even weld steel to cast iron with this trick, 50/50 mix with copper gives solid results, the more copper the softer the joint

[@Preso58]

Looks like the snapped part was pressed steel. All lawnmowers are the work of the devil.

[@therealspixycat]

[@jimforsyth2.]

Cast steel

[@DolezalPetr]

also welding from one side to the other is a better method, do not close off both ends, that build up stress in the material when welding the middle part

[@sacriptex5870]

grind a little in the sides, and weld it up, than grind again to make fresh new

where have you been?
