When you weld on the dipper stick and boom is the correct welding rod 7018?
Is the dipper and Boom made of special steel, or is it just mild steel? I have seen some mention of AR steel on here, what is that?
Is the boom section always called boom or is there another name for it?
I have an old Batam that I want to re-paint and in cleaning up the sections I found one crack and some previous welds that who ever did them would not admit to. This Bantam is something most of you folks probably give to your toddlers to play in the sand box with. It is big enough to do what I need to do.
