I needed to repair a bent clevis ear on an agricultural implement. The job required butt welding 3/8” plate in a 3G position. I owe Jody big time for providing tutorials that allowed me to successfully complete the repair. It isn’t the most beautiful job, but as my first repair of anything, I’m pleased with it. The photos are in reverse order from the way they should be. Oops.
