Brass brushes are a lot easier that the steel on metal surfaces. The brass is softer and will wear quicker than the steel. But, still take it easy when brushing. I have yet to damage anything that I have used the brass brush on.

PS I usually go have mine welded. My next door neighbor works on restoring old cars. He always has a welder going.

Skip,
Wish you were closer, I have two treadles with broken parts. Cost to have it done here is prohibitive.

Why is welding so costly in your area. It is cheap here. Most of the time free.

Joe find a highschool tech class for welding and machine work they will usually do it for free or a very small donation.
