Huckabay is one of the closest communities to our Stephenville shop — about 15 miles away. For ranchers and equipment owners in the Huckabay area, we are a practical option for machining, welding, trailer repair, and agricultural equipment service without a long haul.
Huckabay sits just east of Stephenville in Erath County, and we have served this community for decades. A trip to our shop for parts, repairs, or materials is a short run — close enough to make a round trip in a lunch break for most jobs.
We are open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM, and Saturday mornings until noon. No appointment needed for most work.
Huckabay is just down the road from Stephenville, making a machine shop run practical for the same workday. We handle lathe work, milling, boring, shaft repair, and custom part fabrication for the agricultural and ranching equipment common in this part of Erath County.
We weld and fabricate for Huckabay-area ranchers and operators. Broken implement frames, cracked equipment housings, custom bracket work, and structural fabrication for ranch infrastructure are regular jobs for us. We work in steel, iron, and aluminum.
Trailers get beat up on rural roads and county lanes around Huckabay. We carry the parts most commonly needed — axles, hubs, bearings, lights, and couplers — and can handle most repairs the same day the trailer comes in.
With Huckabay just outside Stephenville, tractor PTO and driveline repairs are a short haul away. We fix PTO shafts, rebuild drivelines, service gearboxes, and replace U-joints. We keep common parts in stock to minimize your downtime during the growing season.
Ranch trucks around Huckabay do real work. We build and install steel and aluminum flatbeds fitted to your pickup, with toolbox options, stake pockets, and headache racks. A flatbed upgrade often outlasts multiple factory beds.
We build custom chip spreaders for dump trucks and skid steer loaders used on chip seal, road maintenance, and aggregate spreading jobs around Huckabay. Units are fabricated at our Stephenville shop for durable, real-world use.
For Huckabay welders who need consumables without placing an order, our supply counter is stocked with rods, wire, helmets, and grinding supplies available during regular shop hours.
We stock structural steel and cut it to your specs on the spot. Angle iron, tubing, flat bar, plate, and round stock are available for walk-in purchase with no minimum order and no wait for delivery.
Swap an empty cylinder for a full one without waiting on a refill. We stock oxygen, acetylene, argon, CO2, and 75/25 mixed gas. For Huckabay customers, it is a quick trip down the road to keep your tanks full.

Can I drop something off and pick it up the same day?
For many jobs, yes — especially trailer repairs, parts sourcing, and welding repairs. For machine shop work, call first and we can tell you if same-day turnaround is realistic for your specific job.
Do you carry parts for older farm equipment?
We stock common parts for a range of equipment and can source or machine parts for older models when standard replacements are not available. Bring in the old part or give us the make and model and we will figure out what works.
Can I pick up cylinder gas without an appointment?
Yes. Cylinder exchange is walk-in during regular shop hours. Bring in your empty and we will hand you a full one.
Do you do welding on farm structures, not just equipment?
Yes. We weld and fabricate for agricultural structures including gates, pens, chutes, and frame repairs. If you need something built or fixed in steel, talk to us about it.
What if I need metal cut to a non-standard size?
We cut steel to length in the shop. Tell us what you need and we will cut it while you wait or have it ready for pickup.
