    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    Red, thanks for the input! After all this was a welding question...... And all agree that to separate the fitting down to its composite parts is the way to go. I will do that for my Ford "N"s (all three of 'em) Dirk

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    Thank you , Eric for the thoughtful reply. I will say that there was hardly a "bump" when the part failed. And now I will reach out to Titan and see what the expected failure forces are for the shear pin just for grins. And from now on I'll use a chain to pull stumps.:cool: Dirk

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    Eric, I hate to burst your condescending bubble, BUT, The shear pin was made in America by Titan! I mic'd and measured mine according to spec. Now back to other facts: The tractor didn't rear bump or flip. I was using the subsoiler to remove small pine stumps that mostly had rotted...

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    OK....... The tractor is a Kubota 3700 with FEL the Sub Soiler is from Titan and has an integral shear pin. I have never seen anyone have difficulty with the type of drawbar, that said I don't have all of the experience that this forum does. That's why I am here. Thanks for the concern...

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    It is very stout. And, yes the first one was not made for the job or the method I was subjecting it to. Thanks

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    Well, the reconstruction of the broken "arm" is still on hold. I plan to use it around the ranch for small trailers etc. . So to address some of the helpful suggestions here, I bought this: It should do the jobs I need.

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    Darn good idea. I was going to weld side plates to it, but your idea seems much better. Thanks for your help. I'll post the final result when I get done .

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    Sorry to confuse the issue. Here are the pics of the whole setup. The "Pittman arm" is the black adapter that hooks the top link to the drawbar. it used to conform to 90 degrees. I have straightened it out from where it was..... bent down on top of the receiver. So back to the question: Do...

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    The arm is vertical. attached to the tractor by the top link. it intersects a channel that acts like a 2" receiver bolted to the drawbar. I had a subsoiler inserted into the receiver. One of the stumps leveraged the subsoiler almost vertical, rotating the drawbar/receiver maybe 60 degrees...

    Separate or Filet? Welding Question

    I folded my Pittman arm which was attached to my drawbar when I was pulling rotten stumps... It looks like the welds were "cold". Looking at the damage, should I cut the vertical arm from the 2" receiver? or should I use a die grinder to open up the old weld and try to re-position back to...
