What are you running for a engine drive welder?

admin

Lets hear what ya'll are running on your rig and what type of welding you do.  I have a Miller PipePro 400 with a Caterpillar.  I do aluminum dump trucks, tankers, heavy equipment at a mine site, water treatment plant repairs, structural steel repairs, pontoon boats, gates, heavy trailers lite trailer even mail box posts and lots more I cant remember.We've done so much, for so long, with so little. Were now qualified to do anything with nothing !

Reply:The car hood might have been from a chevelle. The previous owner hinged it so that he could service the engine which I’m quite certain he never ever did. Can’t expect much for $150cdn. (delivered) although it had 150ft of 1/0 leads ..…….Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk:

Reply:A Miller TB 302 and a 325 with fuel injection. After a long line of SA-200 Lincolns. My field work now is mostly farm equipment and irrigation pipe work. The last heavy bucket work was back in 2014 on a 992 Cat loader, not really missing that stuff now.

Reply:An old Hobart GPB-258 with the Willys engine. It's currently getting some TLC in the form of a whole new exhaust system, new plugs, modern spin-on style oil filtering, new fuel filtering and fuel lines, new air filter, and a general clean-up. Oh, and an oil change with a 1/4-turn drain valve.Last edited by nickel_city_fab; 5 Hours Ago at 09:55 PM.Use a bigger hammer.
