Anything welding

Love my hobart 140. Been a great machine for 10 years.

 

Thanks guys. Might pick one up this weekend and start messing around on some scrap metal

 

Bought an Everlast 200DV just now. Excited to teach myself TIG finally

 

Well How did things go inquiring minds want the skinny ??

 

I have the titanium 140 from harbor freight and it kicks ass. I also just use it for home hobbyist type stuff. Done loads of cmcs, a couple shock relocates, a set of sliders, etc.

 

46th set of sliders this year so far

 

All this. I did my axle flip and SAS with one, sweet welder for what it is!

 

Hobart is not a bad choice for a Hobby type use parts and support are easy to get

 

Anybody use the new ranger they just came out with or the 305G?

I’m fucking terrified of investing in myself and failing but I have way too much free time and need to do something to kill boredom.

I know I know. I had a 250 ranger at one point but I didn’t have anywhere to store or a truck big enough to keep it on. Now I do. So I’m trying to come up with a game plan for making side money again

 

Finished putting together my rear bumper.

 

Very nice!

 

awesome - thanks guys for the feedback

 

Added some piping to my exhaust. It was dumping in front of the axel. Now it goes over the axel then dumps at an angle. I used old piping from an old exhaust since this whole setup will be going in the trash when the turbo goes on.

 

Another happy customer. Cut up his cab mount and plated it with 3/16” because that’s what I had handy #beefy

 

Buying used or new ??

used download the operators manual the bells and whistles change all the time

I do like the smaller footprint and the style of being completely enclosed .

No major faults I have heard of I don`t care for the Chopper technology so very expensive to replace out of warranty

 

Holy shit. I never thought to use a washer.

 

Well fuck me that would have helped this weekend. Broke the bolt holding the negative battery to the fender. Instead i drilled it out and put a longer one through with a nut

 

I mean I guess, but couldn’t you do really the same by welding inside the nut to the snapped flush stud? Seen that work just as well many times.

 

Great info. In most cases there is a nubbin of bolt exposed. The washer really can't be used.

 

Use a Copper washer keeps the nut from welding to the adjacent metal
