Reply:Doesn't look like that casting was too oily or greasy, Zap.  Somebody must have done you a good turn and cleaned it really well before delivering it to you for repair.  Either that or you skipped the dirty work photos...Looks like a good casting too.  I didn't see any pores in the areas you ground down(with a carbide burr, I'm guessing?)  That must have made it less of a hassle to repair.Benson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector

Reply:Looks good to go. I see the black stuff that floated to top of puddle, castings are a pain. Did you have to hold puddle to float the crap out, or was it good enough to just run it? PeterEquipment:2  old paws2  eyes (that don't look so good)1  bad back
