I have been using this machine for about year off and on. I have been fixing things as I go, I bought some weld-on shanks and teeth for the bucket. Problem now is I have broke the cutting edge twice. 1st time pushing a tree, 2nd time hit a stump. Could welding on the cutting edge make it brittle?

Does any body know of a good source for 8 x 3/4 cutting edge? Ohio,indiana,Kentucky area

Hey Tim, I don't know where you can get the material in your area but whenever we replace a cutting edge we always use a piece of tough plate like a 4140 grade or something equivilent. The main thing is to heat the edge with a torch before you weld it in to insure the weld doesn't cool too fast and become brittle. I'm no welding expert by any means but I've never had one break yet. I don't know that the welding you did on the edge made it brittle, but it is a possiblilty depending on how you did it, what rod you used, etc. One thing people often don't think about when they put on a set of shanks and teeth is how it effects the load distrubution across the edge. With a straight edge and no teeth most loads are distrubuted across a wider area of the edge than when you have teeth. When you hit the stump for instance with a straight edge the force would have been across an area the size of the stump, but with the teeth if you happen to hit on one or two teeth the force is all applied to that small area. That's why you often see buckets with teeth torn out in the corners where people hook things with the corner teeth. Just something to think about. Good luck. Wayne
