Is it possible to weld an axle?
G'day all just had a guy come in and ask if I could weld an axle out of an old Bedford van, its actually an ice cream van,
a Mr Whippy, I've never heard of it being done so I thought I'd ask the question where I'm pretty certain someone would know. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Re: Quick question.
Hey Steve thanks for getting back to me so quick, it's for a trailer. So it will be loaded with some stuff for camping and the like. So it will have some twisting forces going over things and stuff like that.
