[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3662, member: 82"] I don't know what the carbon content of the chrome bar i have is, but i do know when i cut a length with a metal abrasive saw the steel did have hard spots when i went to machine it. I don't remember saying you should quench it as such, but i have used a wet rag and slowly run it down the bar to slowly cool it off., i prefer to just let it cool naturally, when you quench it as you said, it gets hard but it can also twist and crack welds. I was told by a fitter and turner buddy of mine that i should grind the bar into a point so when you build it back up with weld it basically becomes one. He has done it this way on heavy earth moving equipment for many years. I did the same weld on my 731 3 years ago and it still running strong, i didn't even grind it to a point. It must be because i stuffed up the mounting of the bosses.... I will hopefully get time to cut them out this afternoon, then i'll know if i will be able to get the rotten things back in without making a new set. [/QUOTE]
