Look what I got for 20 bucks

admin

I found this at Agrisupply. It is kinda like TSC except more better BIG and cheaper.  A walmart of farm stores if you will.It was on the "discount" table.It had 20.00 written on it.  I had to inquire about it to the manager to make sure there wasn't a mistake.  He saiid the price was correct because it was missing something.  Well I knew I had the stuff to build the part so....Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT

Reply:Ok I want one around here.Mack
Reply:You got a good deal on that one.  A few years ago I wanted one.  Priced them.  Heck, I can make one.  By the time it was said and done, I had more time and money in the thing than if I had just gone out and bought one.

Reply:20 BUCKS! Wow thats a smokin deal. You had all the steel ya needed layin around?
Reply:Yeah,  I buy a little extra every time I do a job.  I figure it into my quotes, just in case... you never know when those pieces you measured and remeasured come up a little over the estimate, just enough to have to buy an extra 20 ft stick to get one 12 inch piece.  Every once in a while,  I can do a job with out ordering any metal at all.  Sometimes, I buy their dog eared pieces.  Right now Ihave 4 sheets of 18 ga.  4x8 sheets that cost me $10/ sheet because they had moisture settle on them.  The steel you see in the picture only cost me 256 bucks because they were set aside for scrap, because they were cut for an order that never went out.There's a welding trailer sitting in that pile, 2 saw mill track sections and probably enough left to build something nice.  I don't know what but something nice.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT

Reply:We've got one a couple hours away in Greenville, NC and it is a very dangerous place to be with a credit card. They have a great selection of hitch accessories and I got my Dad a replacement seat for his JD 4040 while we were picking up our aluminum hitch hauler that we use on the beach for coolers and chairs.

Reply:Lug Weld, I have bought a ton of stuff from MSI (agri-supply) there in Tifton over the years.  Back when I was in College at ABAC I bet we spent $200 a month in there on all kind of odds and ends.  What part of South GA are you located?I'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......

Reply:Yep, I'm very familiar with Jimmy Grubbs.  I was an AET major, and his assistant the last two years I was there.  I even helped them teach the welding labs while I was going to school there.  ABAC is a much different place than it was when I was there.  What years were you there?  I'm actually doing some work over in the Fitzgerald area as we speak.  I'll be back over that way right after the first of the year. ~JacksonI'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......
