Rototiller Repair without new parts.

Just a quick video to get the tiller ready for a few more years ,,,I hope!
This is an early 1960's model tiller. It has seen a lot of dirt through it. This was easy and cheap. I was going to use a "hard surface" welding rod, but I really wanted to just save those rods for something more important. I was hoping for a good result. It worked great I think. I did not use any back up plate, just "air welded" it. Using 7016 for a few passes, then 10016 welding rods for the "cutting" leading edge. I will be good to go for years now. No pre heat or post heat. I did weld from the tip first, to the body of the tine. Making sure to go past the curve in it so there might be less weld stress than stopping on the bend area.
