Up close pic of the seam. When it comes time to weld I will start by plug welding the big holes closed and then weld the seam solid, once the seam is welded I will remove the screws and weld the holes shut. It will probably take the better part of a day to weld this solid without warping it.

How do you make the small holes Tim? With a punch? Or with a spot weld bit? (The ones with a center push pilot that look kind of like a hole saw.)

I have this tool that's a hole punch on one side and the other side steps the metal in so the 2 pieces of metal sit flush with each other.

because i have screws. i prefer screws because the panels don't always fit together perfect and the screw will draw the 2 pieces together vs having to hold the 2 pieces together while you put the cleco in.

OK, I've been happy using Cleco's on my race cars. That said the fit and finish was not all that critical.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
