NO, I didn't do it, I found it on the 'net somewhere.)

At first look I thought a giant bug or alien was baked and painted into the frame......

Took a while to realize that is weld!

I spent the night in a hotel that had exterior stairs made like that for going to the upper stories from the parking lot. Every step had a missed weld and were rusty to
boot! I was glad to have a room on the ground floor.

You'll probably believe me when I tell you that I've done worse than that. I start to curve off and get way out in the middle of
nowhere.

I do that all the time. Ever since I had the pacemaker put in and I am supposed to keep the arc two feet from the pacemaker.

And how many stuck wires can you count?

Thats what happens when you get old and cant see the puddle like me. I have welded a few years for a living and when your eyes cant see the puddle. I have changed to lighter lenses and nothing seems to work.

My bifocals drive me crazy when welding. I bought a pair of $5 reading glasses to wear when welding and get along a lot better. Still can't weld like I used to but it helps.

I bought a 750 bu. grain cart in 2010 and this was one of many welds that were crap!!!---Tee

This was a gusset on the hitch!

The Amish built it--They must have been welding by candlelight!

a friend of broke something on his disk so he took it to local welder. welder said some people should not be allowed to own a welder and farmers are one of them.

I have done similar but at least I grind it off and do it over. An auto darkening helmet helped my old eyes a lot.

Did some welding last we found out I can't see and shake to much. Great getting older.

I understood you had to stay away from the buzz box, not the arc. Something to do with the magnetism produced by the buzz box. I put
longer wires on my tombstone and have continued on.

I looked it up and it said both.
