Drilling small diameter round hole at each end of a crack to stop the crack from propagating, or redeveloping after it has been welded, Yea, or Nae? I remember my late father, at age 50, complaining one day that he could not see well enough to do a good job of welding something that he was trying to repair. I feel very fortunate that, after some laser “tack-welding” of both retinas post vitreous fracture, at age 70, with high-index plastic, progressive cut bifocals, I can still be corrected to 20-20 for near and medium distances.

Good to see the progress happening. Pro tip, next time you do a square patch, use round corners. Even a small radius helps with the warpage. Before the cut, i drill a 5/16 or 3/8 hole in each corner. I enjoyed the Cresent panel alignment tool! 😂

Squatch, you got some metal working skills there. Looks absolutely professional. Take great care with the welding, for sake of the eyeball. I just came back from the optometrist with new glasses and decided this would be the first thing I would watch, in support of your eye recovery.

Dude - Off topic comment but a word of thanks. I watched your eyeball videos and it got me thinking about some vision quirks I have so I went to the eye Dr. I'm squeamish about such things but I figured I'd man up and go. It was a good thing that I did, the diagnosis was not good but getting treatment now should nip the problem in the bud and prevent further degradation. Thank you for being a positive influence. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Definitely good to see you back making progress. When I was taught to MIG thin metal I was told to hammer and dolly the weld a little before dressing it out as this takes away any shrinking stresses. In the case of this hood I don't think it is necessary but if you are doing larger flat panels it can help.

So happy to see you back at it again. “New” eyeball or not all work is still inspected and verified by your well trained hands and fingers. The tactile touch is the best way to keep your eyes relaxed and not over exerted. Toby’s work won’t stop, and that’s very good for the rest of us watching

Nice job of metal work on the hood. As a welder/ fabricator for 35 years I can recognize and admire skilled work when I see it. I had to cut out and replace large sections of the rear fenders on my Super A project. Warping was my biggest issue. I did come across some new replacements but chose not to buy as mine finished out well. Looking forward to your next video. Again...Nice work.

A buddy had been building a M from 3 when I rebuilt my M. We struck a deal. I discarded a distillate head, small tank, and hood for better ones. Amazing how much crap I got from the purists. I was more concerned about a functioning tractor that looked good. Having said that occasionally something will throw me off when I look for indicators of a tractor's age . Thank you.

Well done sheetmetal repairs. My red Belarus tractor has a folded hood that looks more or less kind of like a Farmall Super M hood. Also they suffer from the same issues, weird holes driller or torched onto rando places, openings are out of shape or wacked out, loose muffler clamp carnage. They are made out of hard steel so if it is severely dented or kinked it's rather impossible to get them back to the original shape. That why having multiplied hoods is a guaranteed way to insure you have at least one that you are able to use.
