[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 36135, member: 437"] You should be able to grind most of the weld off and then drive a large cold chisel in between the edge and the bucket and break it off the rest of the way. Then go back and dress up the old welds, fit your new edge and weld it on. The new edge should be stick welded on. Mig welding likely will not give you enough penatration to with stand the working forces on the edge. Bucket cutting edges are made from hardened steel and you will need to use 7018 rod, preheat and post-heat the welding area. [/QUOTE]
