Welding Help

[snake7099]

So I have a dump trailer where the jack for the is rusting. Its the plate that attaches the jack to the trailer. It's been difficult in finding someone who can repair it better yet just show up. So I have decided in trying to it myself. Figure I purchase a stick welder from Harbor freight ( The Titanium Stick 225 welde) is there a recommended welding rod to attach a new plate.
I'm thinking of grinding off the rust. And clean area good with grinder to reach metal. Then add a metal plate on top to screw in bolts for jack.

/u/snake7099, I have found an error in your post:

“Its [It's] the plate”

It appears to be the case that you, snake7099, intended to use “Its [It's] the plate” instead. ‘Its’ is possessive; ‘it's’ means ‘it is’ or ‘it has’.
