Scout frame repair

[Nonmilagno]

I have a ‘39 Scout subframe that needs a bit of welding done (loose chain rubbed on lower tube). It’s not very deep but I’d like to have it welded.
I need to tell the welder what kind of steel the frame is. Anyone know?

Call it chrome moly and weld it.

Please warn your welder, Nonmilagno,...

The frame members are brazed together.

(Welding near a joint risks 'admixture'. And if its like the Chiefs I've repaired, everything but the tubing is cast iron.)

Good luck!

Once again, I only worked on a couple of Chiefs, Jerry,

But on headstock cracks, center-stand lugs, and the like, I used piston rings for filler rod.
