Anything welding

youre not going to be getting any sort of good looking welds if youre using an 85A welder. just stop and take it to a shop before you gum everything up and cost yourself even more money at the shop

 

I agree with them looking cold

 

my ’07 has never died when starting after i disconnect the battery.

edit;

i have an ’07 with auto trans and 4wd ever happened.

 

Looks like those are bolt ons? If so why weld them and it shouldn't really matter how the welds are.

 

Well picked up my welder again for the second time. Here is the product.
Stacked it on another weld.

 

a little more heat. pause in the toes a hair longer to get full fusion

 

Thanks man. I can only try to get better. I have a lincoln 180hd with 75 argon 25 co2

 

youre on to a good start. im gonna attempt to use paint and show you the gun movement that i use

 

Ok sweet!

 

thats a alright machine and perfect gas. Need to jack that heat up.

This is from a hobart 210 mvp 75/25 gas

 

this is the manipulation i use on horizontal welds, but i found it works good on flat welds as well.

wish i had some pics of welds ive done like this, but they look damn good.

 

1/2'' weld. vert one in two over on 3/4" plate


50 TONS of pressure


one this spreader bar


hooked to this 3/8" pad eye 50 tons of side ways force. got a lil rip. number dont lie

 

Yes, they are bolt on an would probably be fine without welding. I know my welds suck and I have a less than adequate welder but I have to learn somehow. Oddly enough, the welds on the bottom of the flange (no pics) are even, smooth and flat. It was the vertical welds that owned me.

 

just showing how strong steel is Kase.

 

I dont know that much lol. Just have worked all different types of jobs.
this is my 10th yr welding/fitting and have had 13 welding jobs lol oooops. But most was with zachry and shaw group tigging pipe/tubes on boilers

 

If they're bolt on I wouldn't worry about the welds. The only force applied is up.

 

I still have a lot of practice to do Stil.
Can't wait to start building shit.

 

Exactly. And the leading edge of the applied force (bottom of the flange) is where my best welds are.

 

It appears that the weld between your frame plates and tube are too cold as well. Proceed with caution

 

Is your polarity set right? Usually with flux core your ground should be negative.
