Aerator repair job.

admin

Gotta support the local High school girls softball team.  And both of bossmans daughters play so.....They got this thing for free and guess who gets to fix it? Looked like it was being used in a gravel parking lot. All tines straightened and cut off REALLY bad ones.Needed 20 of these little buggers. Cut from 3" x 1/4" flat bar, they were a 1/4" too long.Quick rounding on belt sander.This part sucked a bit, had to grind down the old welds. Those angle magnets DO come in handy every once in awhile.All welds done with a miller DVI Mig .035 wire, #5 amp setting and 45ish wire speed.If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before the bag of luck is empty."-Grandad circa 1990ish
