Anything welding

Just re tap them? Thats what I did for ky stock skid bolts

 

That's what I had to do, you can go up a size if there's enough meat on there.

 

I guess I should also mention that beyond the one that is stripped, I have one that the nut broke off inside the frame, and one that the bolt snapped off in as well. So, I have a few that need fixing and i was thinking weld nuts would be the way to go.

 

Drill them out. Use the proper drill bit for the thread pitch/bolt. Start small and try getting as close to center as you can. If part of the bolt is sticking out grind it flat first.

 

Or get an easy out...

 

I've had very little success with those, I doubt they would work on a bolt that was seized enough to shear off. I tried one on my skid bolts to no avail, ended up just drilling and tap.

 

Or try Helicoils..

Use them quite often on the boat; just make sure you take your time installing them..

 

Believe the reason easy outs reason for existence is broken off bolts. They dont always work but worth a try. But before trying spray broken bolt with pb blaster several times over the course of a day or two and give it a go.

 

Just because something is made for a purpose doesn't mean it works. Rather then waste money on an easy out kit buy a drill/tap for $5 and be done with it. The tap can also be used to chase the other threads as they'll most likely need.

 

Depends on the application. A drill and tap would make the existing hole over sized. A generous application of PB and an easyout-probably a better answer for parts that require it.

 

Worked fine on one of my bolts. Easy outs usually only work on bolts that are only just barely stuck. Skid bolts tend to rust and gall up for some reason, I tried it on mine cause I had a set already, no dice. If there isn't enough tread to re tap after you drill it out you can just use a larger bolt, there's plenty left.

 

Made this brush guard for a friend.

I know it's on a jeep, but it's what he wanted...

 

Hobart 770674 Adapter Cord

so is that the plug ill need to weld 220 without calling an electrician?

 

Yes this is the correct plug for your application.

Have you purchased your welder yet and are you going to a building centre or an actual Welding suppply store for your purchase??

I suggest pricing it out at an actual welding supplier who sells the gas consumables as there's always packages they'll offer to suite your needs. (i.e. Gas bottle-purchase/rent, spool gun for aluminum, wire etc...)

Wth regards to building centres you may get a good deal on a welder, however the gas consumables and accessories may cost you full price.

its just a suggestion from past experience.

Good luck

 

check out Amazon... i bought my hobart 210 there. does both 110 and 220
rented a huge 125 cylinder from a local welding place for 7.00 a month and 60/fill 'till i can get my hands on a customer bottle for a reasonable price.
the local praxair tried to price me out to 285 for the tank.... sorry but no.
check out dezertrangers if your in so cal, theres a shop owner who sells tanks around 120$ each

 

Just ordered one of these with the TIG package..............

 

Sweet! You'll love it.
My 211i is pretty sweet with the whole shebang. Got the tig torch and foot pedal, as well as the spool gun for mine all wrapped on a custom dual cylinder cart I built.

 

Not yet. My dads going half on it so im waiting to make sure i get the right one. Im now looking at the millermatic 211 that has the dual plugs

 

^worth it, but the Hobart of the same size has them now too I think

 

Do you know the price? The miller is 1137 or something like that
