Reply:Picked up this litter welder to run until I get my old Hobart running. It's a 1980 Acklands G225, same as a Miller AEAD200LE, sat inside it's whole life, not used in a decade. Got her purring like a kitten, welds nice! More to come, need to finish my toolboxes.

Reply:You're in Saskatchewan so shouldn't be hard to round up some "Genuine Fire Resistant Saskatchewan Seal Skin Bindings" to hold that welder on the deck. Those are decent machines and became the Legend but replaced by the Bobcat models.

Reply:Got a flatbed Ford dually in the yard that would do well for something like this. Always wanted to make it into a shop truck, especially since it's a 5sp manual transmission and full crew cab. Just gotta win the lottery first!I'll live vicariously through you for the time being. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Reply:There's a guy up in Canada that posts on YouTube, or used to. FieldRes, or something like that. You guys oughta get together. Both of you seem to like the old classic machines. He's probably got the first Lincoln ever built
Guy used to post funny videos, but stopped, and removed them some time back.
Reply:For those who might be wondering why no updates.Project on hold, squished 2 fingers a work few weeks ago, popped the tips like sausages bursting on the grill, ripped the nails up at the roots, cuts behind the nails to the bone and shattered part of the one finger tip.....so off work for a bit.
Reply:I'd post the pics from 30 minutes after it happened but some people might not appreciate it lol
Reply:You're lucky to still have them, I had a similar smash on the pinky and ring finger tip on my left hand 14 years ago and lost 10mm of the ring finger. The pinky tip still looks a little flattened. And I still have issues in cold weather.
Reply:Yup winter will be fun...boo! Lol
Reply:I crushed a finger on dump truck tailgate but thankfully it mostly healed. Worked with a guy once who lost a finger and got $17K in compensation for it. It got squished under one of the plungers on a 1/4" x 10' plate shear. That had to hurt!
Reply:I really like the looks of your weld rig, when you get healed up and back to workin keep us posted, take care of them fingers, ive had that happen many times and it hurts like hell...it caused pain in my chest lookin at the xray. Get well soon and be safe

Reply:I hope those fingers heal well... it sucks not being able to use your hands for manual work for a while.Regarding the truck... do you plan on touching up the suspension of that vehicle? It looks like right now it has zero suspension travel... Stiffer springs or adding new leaves to the current leaf spring packs could be a nice improvement. I know nothing about the suspension setup of that truck.Mikel
