[AT] Welding Grousers...?

[william.neff.powell at comcast.net]

Has anyone had success welding grousers on their old dozer pads? 

I have an AC HD6G with worn pads. A previous owner had welded some on but most of the welds have not held and many have been lost..... I am knocking pad bolds off at an alarming rate due to lack of grousers...  The grousers are the short type about 5/8 inch high... 

I know the pads have a high carbon content so they don't take very well to welding... 

Whats the best method, mig, stick, type of rod to use?
