The last two that I repaired I tigged. My stick welding skills are slowly eroding since I retired from Millwright work 3 years ago. In my shop I either grab the mig or tig. Check out this link if you are going with stick. I used a 3/32 rod. Like Bob said protect surrounding areas from splatter. I use fiberglass cloth and a product called kayo-wool. Keep covered to let it cool slowly after the repair is done. Some guys want to make a simple repair into a project.

Thanks!

Would you know about the MG200 electrode ? Would it also do the trick and not be as hard to machine later on ?

I never used that rod. Your best bet is to go to your local welding supplier and ask what they recommend. I actually dug my 765's out to get you the number and they have a phone number on them.

I keep my good rods in my bedroom.
