Small welding job recommendations (BR area)
Posted on 7/22/22 at 10:32 am

Looking for someone who does small welding jobs on the side. I have a zero-turn lawn mower and the welds broke off where the front caster wheels connect. Ideally looking for someone who can come to my location as I can’t move the mower easily.

If you know how to stick weld, Home Depot on Coursey rents a generator with welding capability.
If you make multiple passes, you could weld a little thicker than that. I rented it to repair a fence, and it worked good enough.

I'm not in BR and can't recommend a welder, but you should go anead and remove the spindle, bearings and races from the part that you want welded back onto the mower frame if that is what broke. Also, clean all the grease out of it. If it is part of the caster assemply that broke, it might be better to just replace that.
Also, just curious, what make and model zero-turn mower do you have?

Thanks, I’ll remove any unnecessary parts to make the weld job a little easier. The mower is a Gravely 32” bought back in 2015.

Thanks for the info. But I have zero welding experience. Gonna need someone who at least welds as a hobby.

A friend of a friend on Facebook shares this places posts a lot. I have no idea their work but they do travel.
C and C specialty welding. Looks like they are near Holden, La.

Whereabouts do you live?
I'm in BR and have a HF wire feed welder. I am not a welder but I can fuse pieces of metal together. Welds aren't pretty but they hold.
Let me know if I can help. I charge in beer (after I'm done).
ETA - my welder requires 220V. Do you have a dryer outlet or other 220V circuit access nearby? Otherwise, that's going to be a problem .

One of the guys I used to work with owns Bull Run Welding Service out in Springfield.
Doing a quick search on Google will yield a ton of results. What you have is a pretty easy, quick job that just about any guy can put together for you. If you have any friends/colleagues with a welder, they could patch it up for you as well.

Make sure you tell him “it’s all prepped and ready to weld” but leave the paint and dead grass all over it.

If Unobtanium can’t help you, I’ve got a similar setup. I’m in Jefferson Terrace. Will need a picture of your drier outlet though

e-mail me at XXXX - if or when you want my help reply and I'll repost my address.
Read my post edit above - need 220V for my welder.
Please send pics of the broken piece(s) and a 220V receptacle (dryer, etc.) that I can plug into.
