A mower deck failed, as shown in the picture. I am a rather noob to arc welding, and would appreciate suggestions as to how to proceed with this repair. We are looking at the attach point for lifting the deck.
Specifically, how much metal do I remove?
What is the preferred process (MIG, TIG and stick)?
I am inclined to remove a "v" and compress the lift point so that it is back closer to where it was before this failure. That would likely be something like a 2mm downward movement.
Any other ideas or suggestions you might have. My take is that the complexity of this is moderate for my skills. I could be wrong.
I believe the failure was aggravated by someone running the deck with the lift arms substantially off from being level.
