I just can't wait to be doing TIG

 

Cool. I'll keep that mind. I've got a cracked roof rack on my topper that could stand to be welded up, maybe if i come up with some other aluminum related projects it would be worth it. Thanks!

 

The push pull setup was neat, its like using a TIG welder but with a mig gun attached, and higher power. This was 3/4" alum and I was a first timer

 

I have to say I love my Millermatic. It's only a 190 though

 

Spent some time bleeding the steering on the crawler before I figured out the ram needs to be rebuilt

Not sure if I'll seal slap, have it rebuilt locally, or buy a new one. The latter options will cost about the same

 

I haven't gotten to use a modern millermatic other than a 211MP but it compared favorable to the two lincolns I frequent, a 140HD and a 180

 

You got a good hydraulic cylinder guy?

 

There's a shop about 20 min away but the reviews are hit and miss. They're one of the few in CO though. They want $300+ for a rebuild, pressure test, and warranty though that includes polishing inside and out

 

I gotta slow down, you guys showing me tons of cool shit

 

RIP wallet

 

Seems like a lot for a small ram

 

That happened when I got my license 20 years ago

 

prices are fuckin nuts

I'm looking at like $300 shipped for another TG ram though. I can get a Surplus Center ram for $200~ but I might have to rework how its mounted and it is a larger bore and won't run the same

 

My local guy does rams under 2" bore diameter and under 24" long for super cheap, usually $125 for a quick hone and reseal

 

That would be a quick sell for me

Sounds like this place normally doesn't deal with stuff as small as a 1.5x8 ram. I do have a 2x8 on the shelf but that's a whole different can of worms that involves remounting, a bigger PS pump, new pump bracket, and more new lines

 

What dimension ram do you need? I have a new surplus center one that I'm never going to use i can send to you for cheap.

 

Just get a prius electric power pump.

 

I believe I have a 1.5" bore 8" stroke 3/4" rod with 3/4" clevis eyes on the end

not sure on overall dimens ATM, will need to measure again

 

Ahhh this is setup for hydro assist so no clevis eye.

 

what is it? Fixed eyelets?

I'm probably using the wrong terms. this is a single ram for hydro assist.

I have a threaded rod with a heim style joint on the rod end and a threaded body with a heim style joint in the other end
