Welding & mechanical
What comes through the door
Repair welding
Cracked frames, broken brackets, snapped implement arms, worn bucket edges, gates and racks. If it's steel and it's split, it can usually be put back together.
Fabrication
Brackets, plate, mounts and frames built to fit equipment you already own — measured off the machine rather than ordered out of a catalogue.
Mechanical repair
The other half of the shop. Say what the machine is doing wrong when you call and you'll get a straight answer on whether it's work for this bench.
Trailers and hitches
Tongues, crossmembers, ramps, fenders and hitch mounts — the parts that give out first on a trailer that actually gets used.
Farm and property equipment
Mower decks, loader arms, feeders, gates, and the piece off an old tractor that nobody makes a replacement for anymore.
Before you come out
Tell us what broke
Most jobs start with a phone call and a plain description. If the broken part unbolts, it's quicker and cheaper to work on at the bench. If it doesn't come off, or the machine won't move, say so on the phone and it gets worked out from there. Commins Road runs off Route 360 in Aylett; the shop is at number 206.
- Bring the part if it comes off
- Bring the broken pieces too, even bent ones
- Knock the mud and grease off
- A photo texted over saves a trip
Around the shop
Questions that come up
The part, if it unbolts. It's faster on the bench and cheaper for you. If it's welded in place or the machine can't be moved, mention that when you call.
Knock off the mud, loose dirt and heavy grease if you can. Paint, rust and scale get ground back at the bench anyway, so don't spend time on those.
Rarely a firm one. A repair depends on what the break looks like once it's cleaned up and how much good metal is left to weld to. Describe it or send a photo and you'll get an honest idea of the range.
Often, yes. If the old one still exists — whole, bent or in pieces — it can be measured, cut from plate and welded up again. Bring what's left of it.
