I found this tonight on my JD plows when I brought them up to the shop to change plow shares. Don't know how long its been broke but I think I would have seen it last time I used them when I went to grease the fitting thats right there. I need to decide if I can weld it or have to take it somewhere. I have a stick welder but not the greatest welder around. If I try it is it possible I will run into enough cast to make welding it tougher than normal steel? I think the plow is a 55H model which I'm thinking is 1950's or so. Plow originally had Syracuse bottoms if that helps date it. If you don't think it will pose a problem for me to try what rod do you recommend?
