I agree, it's not really for a novice. It's harder than brazing, yes. No doubt at all, a MIG, or even a TIG, would make this much easier. |

Re bar tie wire and plain coat hanger(non galvanized) works well for filler wire. And i'm not talking about welding with a cutting torch. A welding torch is used with tips from about 000 to #5 is ideal. Stick welding rod don't work worth a dam as filler rod with a torch. Brazing and silver solder has it's place,I use it, but once a piece of metal is brazed, soft or silver soldered,you will never be able weld it later, as it is in the pores of the metal. Gas welding is ideal on cooling shrouds with vibration cracks or broken mounting tabs on Kohlers ( of course any engine) as an example. You can puddle filler wire in some pretty thin rusted metal, like decks, exhaust pipes/mufflers, etc. If the metal is in good shape, a stick welder is my go-to weapon. Mig/Tig is quick and ok but it can only go so thin on metal, then you blow through. Gas weld you can go real thin once you learn how. Like anything, practice is the key. ( I know Jon knows all this) but some might not, thus I mention it. Just another old skool "tool" in a fellers box. Oh, as an afterthought, larger welding supply shops have actual torch filler rod as well as rods for things like 4130 chromoly steel. |

When I was working, I got to be pretty good at spray welding. But I don't have access to that equipment now.

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.
