Mounting a cat blade from a 7U onto a 7J and was wondering (for welding purposes) what the frame rails and the blade mounts (that bolt to the frame)are made of? There are a few cracks I'd like to weld. Need to do a grind test tomorrow but figured someone might know. Looks and sounds like cast steel but that might just be me being optimistic.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
