Welding rod suggestions

[gmj]

Broke a mount off my Armstrong at grapple. Not thinking my wire feed welder is going to be the best option. I haven’t stick welder in a few years. Got a Lincoln 225 I can use but need to know what rods would work best?

6011 up hill 7018 flat.

I would run a root with 6010 (P5) and then cap with 7018

Grind it to where you will get a 100% fillet and you should be good to go with the wire feed.

How thick are the pieces your “ welding “ together?

[Walker]

Probably need to bevel grind both pieces and weld/fill to getbenought steel in the break.

7018 is an all position rod. That's all you need as far as stick goes. Tig welding would be the best option. Some of answers people give on welding advice crack me up on here...

Did it break a weld, or break the steel? May need braced or gussetted.

I’ll defer to the pros on stick rod work, but if you have a 220V wire machine I wouldn’t hesitate to clean it all up good and burn it with wire.

I'm still trying to figure out what an Armstrong at grapple is.
That said clean it up and use a 240 wire unit and you'll be fine on most things. Them cheap 120 volt units no.

That one. Grind a fillet.

Huh?
You think he can snap off and tig weld if asking "how-to" on here?

Yep, TIG in this application would be rare and if he was capable of that then he wouldn’t be asking

Your right brute killer I don’t tig weld. I have welded tons of stuff with my wire feed including a disk that has held for a couple of years now. Was just thinking I might get better penetration with a stick. I learned on a stick welder, just been about 20years since I have had a need to use one.
If Dale says wire will work I’ll crank it up and find out. Thanks everyone.

Make sure you are shielded from wind so your gas doesn’t blow away
