Welding repair in Trafalgar
Mobile repairs priced off the published rate table. Call (463) 283-5835 or send the form below.
Trafalgar is proper farm country, the part of Johnson County where equipment is measured in tons and the nearest welding shop is a long tow away. That distance is exactly why we run mobile: a combine header, a grain auger, a manure spreader, or a sixteen-foot stock trailer is not something you load up for a repair, and during planting or harvest the machine cannot leave the farm at all.
Ag repairs here follow the calendar. Spring brings tillage points, hitches, and planter frames; summer is mower decks and baler pickups; fall is header repairs, auger flighting, and grain cart tongues; winter is the catch-up season when the fix-it list finally gets attention and the stock trailers get their floors and gates gone through before spring hauling. We keep hardfacing rod, high-strength filler, and patience for rusted bolts on the truck year round.
Cattle operations add their own steel: corral panels, squeeze chutes, head gates, and the pipe fencing that large animals test daily. A chute repair is a safety repair, for the animal and the operator both, and it gets priority scheduling the same way a warehouse emergency does up north in Whiteland.
What harvest does to the schedule
Harvest breakdowns south of Trafalgar do not wait politely for business hours, and a header down at 7 pm with rain coming is the realest emergency in our service area. The after-hours rate is published, $100 to $150 call-out plus time and a half, and farmers here tell us the number they compare it against is the cost of a wet field, which is not close.
The southern townships
Around Trafalgar the calls come from State Road 135 south, the Nineveh valley, the cattle operations toward Morgantown, Indian Creek school country, covering ZIP 46181. If your address is near those, odds are the truck has already worked your street.

Farm questions, farm answers
Can you weld on equipment during harvest without a long wait?
Breakdown calls jump the queue during planting and harvest, and evening repairs happen at the published after-hours rate when the weather demands it. Call with photos and the machine model; we roll with the likely rod and steel already on the truck.
Do you repair auger flighting and grain handling equipment?
Yes, flighting edge build-up, cracked tube seams, hopper patches, and drive mount repairs are all normal fall work. Build-up jobs run in the $250 to $800 band depending on length and access.
My squeeze chute head gate cracked at the pivot. Is that fixable in place?
Almost always, and in place is the only practical way. Pivot repairs on chutes get reinforcing plates rather than a bare re-weld because the load cycles constantly. We treat chute repairs as priority for obvious safety reasons.
Is Trafalgar too far for the standard rate?
The town itself usually rides at the standard first-hour rate; the far southern valleys can add the published $1.50 to $3 per mile beyond the 15-mile ring. Either way the number is stated when you book.
