I've got the next load of scrap metal to make another mower rack. Last time I bought arc welding rods they were $10 to $15 (pre covid) a box at a shop but as everything has gone up lately I think online they are about $25 now but still around a third of a shop price.
I think this rack will have a few bolts to hold it all together otherwise it's going to get to heavy to move ,if I get rid of a few more mowers this rack would make a good engine rack as the crack shaft on the motors would fit in the square mesh.
