MJB1 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 looks like mig ,as they are good welds mig doesn't always give good welds rich , well not if you've seen my welding lately :D :D looks a nice trailer mark , much rather see this than the 4wheel trailers they bring out , fit most headers i would think though would it or will it just fit the deere header ?

MDFord Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks Sean, you can weld smaller than that with TIG Marcus, The only other detachable header I've got is off a Case AFX8010 which looks like a 30 footer. That probably won't fit on it I made this one to be suited to sizes I'm more familiar with - about 18 foot and under or thereabouts. I've e.mailed Andy to enter the comp now, so I will scale the brackets a bit more realistically and add some more little bits and bobs. I learned to weld on arc and have stuck with it mainly, can't beat the good penetration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I may be stupid but what scale is it \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
