If it works go for it! I myself wouldn't trust welding it like that. If that's spring steel for the flex it will break at the weld before too long. ------------- When someone tells you Nothings Impossible, Tell them to slam a revolving door |

| looks like an old weld, must be working. I do agree with Dan about the spring part, but I have also seen where welding improves where a defect was. if the disk is cheap enough, go for it! also that may be a bargaining tool! |

| I wonder what happened to cause them to be broke to need welding in the first place?? |

| could have been edge of field hazards or forcing it into terraces? or poor design? |

It's supposed to be a spring that "gives a little" and makes hitting rocks and cause a little less damage. That looks like a VT which are very heavy and would be too hard to break hitting a big rock going 8mph. I wouldn't like that repair because I'd think it would take away the designed spring action. I would replace it instead if I could afford it. |

At first I didn't notice there were 2 of them fixed like that. Well, like all repairs like that, it will work right up until it doesn't. I think it would spring and give just fine, but it will fatigue that repair steel more quickly I would think. |

| Apparently that guy doesn't have my luck! I would not weld a spring and expect it to last. |

Its a first time for me to see something like that… I cant't imagine what he hit to break two shanks? Its a 22 ft single fold disc, rebadged deutz/allis. Probably, new shanks are not available and the guy had to get her done. |

| There is a rod for welding spring steel that works pretty good. If that was used on the shank, then plated I don't see why it wouldn't work good. But if you get it too stiff it will break again. |

| I'm thinking sistering plates left and right would be stronger than fore and aft. |
