Do not weld on a Woodman Casting 37 without preheating to 500°F, or you will induce cracking. Part Interchangeability: What Replaces the Woodman Casting 37? The original Woodman foundry closed in the 1980s, but several modern equivalents exist. Use this cross-reference. woodman casting 37
A: Yes. Both gray and ductile iron are ferromagnetic. This helps in non-destructive testing. The original Woodman foundry closed in the 1980s,
