I had a used tube that held air. Quicker than patching the old one.

Yes its a John Deere but I don't know what model off hand. It is a dual disc. We have another one up on the farm that is a single disc and a couple feet wider.

Mowed the orchard area to make a place to park tractors and equipment so its out of the way for haying. The baler and hay hauler are in the parking area by the barn. Most of the equipment sits in one of the hay field/pastures after hay season and all winter. I'm a little late moving it but its done now.

Hope you find some good metal to weld to...don't look real good..
What am I gonna look at when I come over your place to snoop around. ?
Took away all the eye candy..
It does get solid up around 5"-6". This had rust through when we got it cause by not cleaning off the dirt/debris, and grass after the hay season. It builds up quite a bit right behind the cutter bar guards which then rots down and holds water all off season.
Thanks DAC. Sometimes feels like its going really slow and I should be getting a lot more done.
Had to use the Hot Wrench to loosen all of the bolts holding the guards on. Nor to mark out where to cut for the new piece. Not sure if I will try marking and drilling the holes first or after I weld the piece in. I guess I need to check if the holes were oversized or not.

If you don't drill them before hand won't you be doing all your drilling up from the bottom ?
I just looked at the old holes and they are square. Probably doesn't matter if the new holes are square because the carriage bolts lock into the guards. I could always drill and file them. I could use the loader or engine hoist to lift the tongue up to make it easier to drill.
