One of these could be handy, in the land of infinite parking. Uncropped photo as seen in listing, don't get mad at me.

 

pre/post heat with a weed burner or bbq

 

Nah, no heat yet, keeps breaking off.

I'm sure they didn't have a tig welder on the farm when they built it 50 years ago

 

Ima take it work and have one of our welders do it, I'm sure he has a torch or something he can hit it with

 

yeaaa I could see that lol

 

Well, heating it prior to welding is a must. Subjecting that much heat (welding) to it without pre-heat can cause cracking or just making it brittle as fuck where they welded.

That's assuming it's cast steel.

Cast iron will require a different filler and won't weld well using MIG wire for mild which is why I mentioned a high nickel content filler; it's meant for metal that's got a higher carbon content and is much more brittle.

Part of the reason why you see a lot of TIG or stick welders when welding cast iron pipes.

 

water hates to see me coming @Kwikvette

 

Man...shit is so tempting to buy

But it's the storyline (and dumb ass one liners) that got me playing this game again. This was last night's screenshot

 

At the very most it's worth about $200. Hill sit on it for a year.

 

@time623

This dude must've been pissed; said he only wanted to make one trip

 

How the hell did he even move like that lmao
Those things weigh so much I move them like 3-4 at a time

 

I just enjoy seeing all the stupid ass shit posted

Don't even need to play the game for the laughs - I just found it interesting that it's in my algorithm when I never even looked up the game.

 

When I picked it up last week they were offering 20% off if you already own Snowrunner
Could get a LT coop save going haha

 

Wait whaaaat, there was a discount for Snowrunner owners? Damn I missed that!



If there's coop, and you're gonna be on in the evenings, I may buy it

 

I have been basically every evening so far, usually just for an hour or two

 

All our ips is welded usally 6018 passes with a 7018 cap. Or just 6018 all around

 

6018 and 7018 refer to tensile strengths on rods

6018 is what we'd run for a root, and 7018 for hot pass and cap when I did my training and cert for it (didn't pass 6G unfortunately)

The rod itself would have a classification on it if welding something specific like cast iron as I mentioned

Most stuff you'll be welding is steel which is what you're most likely seeing

 

Yeah all the pipe for the most part meets astm a105.
Tho I have seen our welder do stainless with stick and aluminum with a spool gun as well

ha! nerd
