<br />WELDING TIPS-from farmers who've tried them . . . Have a: bolt
<br />head that turns when you're trying, to get a, nut 011 the other end? Just
<br />weld a mort piece of rO\l to the bolt hea!! . . . For repairing gear teeth, place
<br />a block of carbon the right size and shape on either side of the Qroken tooth
<br />so' only the rlgbt amount of weld m,etal will be deposited. , . to repair worn
<br />shaft hQles, try, a carbon rod of shaft size In the hole-fill around It with
<br />weld matt!. then Pl.lll' out rod.
