HamptonT 33 #1 Posted March 14, 2017 Are these good tines or worn tines? In your opinion? Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,766 #2 Posted March 14, 2017 Not too shabby IHO... I would think you will get some use out of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasey54 305 #3 Posted March 14, 2017 Id say they are about 3/4 of perfect. Good life left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,663 #4 Posted March 14, 2017 They are good. When the end is almost pointed instead of flat then they are shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,618 #5 Posted March 14, 2017 I don't know if it's possible because of warpage but you might be able to have the edges hard surfaced welded . This could prolong the life of the tines (I herd they're expensive) If you're worried about wear . Maybe @TIGman or @Sarge could chime in with their welding experience ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,463 #6 Posted March 15, 2017 For the cost of hard surface rod , I'd just cut off a section of the ends and weld on some tougher steel . From what I've seen the tines are just made from regular 60XXpsi variety...going to one of the spring steels would help. Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
