Heavy equipment welding repair in Franklin, Indiana
On site welding, line boring and attachment repair. ZIP 46131. Call (463) 222-0589.
Greenwood Equipment Welding brings the welding truck to Franklin: generator, air arc gouging, torch set and a portable line boring machine, priced from the rates published on this site.
Franklin sits where the county changes character. North of town the work looks like Greenwood, contractors and commercial pads. South and east it turns to farm ground, and the repair list changes with it: cracked tillage shanks, worn loader bucket edges, broken grain auger flighting and hitches torn off wagons.
We take both halves of that list. Ag repairs get treated with the same structural care as construction iron, because a loader tractor lifting round bales loads its bucket pins the same way an excavator loads its bucket ears. Pin bores on older loaders are a routine line boring stop for us.
Being twenty minutes down US 31 from our Greenwood base, Franklin scheduling is easy, and the trip fee is the same $75 as everywhere else in the county.
Harvest season around Franklin
Harvest season turns Franklin repairs into clock races. A combine feeder house crack or a grain cart hitch failure in late September gets machines parked while corn stands in the field, so from September through November we hold schedule room for ag breakdowns and tell the pre booked work honestly when a harvest emergency jumps the line.
Franklin and the south county
Regular stops include I-65 exit 90, US 31 south, Johnson County fairgrounds, Hurricane Creek ground. Nearby crews also call us out to Beech Grove, Southport, Bargersville.
Franklin and farm repair questions
Do you weld farm equipment or only construction machines?
Both. Tillage tools, loader buckets, grain handling steel, bale spears and wagon frames are regular work. Cast repairs on older implements are quoted honestly: some cast welds hold for years, some casts are better brazed or replaced, and we tell you which is which before starting.
Can you fix worn pin bores on a loader tractor in the field?
Yes, that is exactly what portable line boring is for. We weld the worn bore up and machine it back round with the loader arms blocked and the tractor sitting in your lot. One position typically runs $650 to $1,200 per our published table.
What area around Franklin do you cover?
All of 46131 and the ground around it, from the industrial park at exit 90 out to the farms toward Hurricane Creek and south toward Edinburgh. The standard county trip fee applies.
Is welding on a grain leg or bin structure something you take on?
Ladders, platforms, braces and spouting supports, yes. Structural work on a loaded bin is a different animal and gets assessed empty. We follow the same conservative call we make on racking: if a weld cannot be defended structurally, we say so.
