Reply:depends on what you will be doing with it it could be handy like that if you will be cutting on it, but for welding I would put a top on it or at least on half of it.Yancy,2 Lincoln sticksMiller 210 W/ Spool gun Miller Bobcat 225G Pluscentury 220V Mig

Reply:Originally Posted by Hammack_Weldingif you want it to work properly then better paint it red.    I make a good living welding JD's back together.
Reply:Put a full top and back splash on it. Hang some of the basics on the back splash. Paint it the old BLM tan so it will set where you saw it last it.

Reply:Red and Green...then you can work on Massys and Deeres
Reply:Redneck, my top is in two halves with a gap about six inches between the halves.I did it like that originally because that's the plate I had, but I now like it because I can clamp things in the middle.I also find that when I'm working on it, the work piece ends up on one half, and the tools, rods etc end up on the other half. The seperation works well.Scott
