Welded Tractor Wheel That Would Have Cost Owner $100.

A mammoth cogged wheel which is a part "of a large tractor owned by T. M. Callahan was broken in five places, including the loss of one cog. Mr. Callahan investigated the cost of a new wheel, expecting to buy one, and found that it would cost SIOO. He took the parts of the broken wheel to Jim and Harve Hemphill, who welded it by the acetylene process. The job was a big one and they worked about all day Wednesday at it, but it will be just as sound as ever and Mr. Callahan will make a big saving.— Adv.
