I believe you that the metallurgy is garbage; the existing teeth I can cut with a file; the welded-on teeth are a bit too hard to file (at least with the cheapo triangular file I was trying to use). I am really unimpressed with this design as a whole and need to find a mower with a more robust steering setup to graft onto this. (Or a better mower to buy as a replacement.) O/A welding is sooooo zen. Need some heat over there? Just point the torch there. Need some filler here? Bam, just feed a little into the puddle. MIG's fine for production-type stuff where you just need to lay a bead down on some metal. O/A gives you so much control over what's going on, it's ridiculous. Can't wait to try some sheet metal welding with it.
