I just finished welding together some wheel saddles to lift my Garden tractor. I find it easier to sharpen the blades and do the maintanance when on the lift. Since I have a two post lift, I built these saddles to raise the tractor so I can stand underneath the mower. They are build out of left over metal and 1/2 rebar. It was good practice for my welding. I am getting better, but find that changing metal thickness requires changes in MIG power.
