I felt sorry for the Jeep on 42s that broke a chromoly stub in his 44 front on an obstacle Dennis crawled up Poor Jeeps... Really, I did feel sorry for him, cuz it was a nice Jeep.

Just curious....was it a RED jeep? Hey, I know Dennis too! in the black and blue yota...cool guy

No, it was a yellow Jeep, I think... Maybe multiple colors. You know those Jeepers.

Glen, I'll be at a friends cabin. Sorry, man. I will be coming to see you, though, with the e-brake disk and to trade some tires. My friend wants his back, so I'll give you a BFG MT of the same size. Hope that's cool, cuz my friend's gettin' disgruntled. I'll let you know before I come. Probably not for a couple weekends. I'm swamped with stuff.

Yea, sorry about that, Glen. I was so wrapped up in trying to get you 4 of the same size that I didn't realize I was jacking his tread. I'll give plenty of notice. You still want the e-brake kit?

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #248 on:** May 28, 2008, 07:45:52 PM »

YES, i still want the ebrake,

is his tire the one thats got the better tread ??

no problem little buddy

i need the ebrake worse than the tires

cant run the 35's till i can afford to regear

I dunno. It's one of the matching three. It's probably on a white wagon wheel with 5 on 5.5 spacing. That'd be the one.

Let's talk welders...

I haven't decided if I want a 110 or 220 yet. I have access to both in my "shop", but then if I take it somewhere I might not have 220. I could ghetto-rig it at the circuit breaker, but sometimes you don't have total access to that. I know that 110's are cheaper, but it seems that eventually I'll want a 220 because they're "better" to weld with. What "better" means, I'm not totally sure...

I definitely want a MIG. After having used both a Stick (arc) and MIG, I'm much more inclined to use a MIG due to easier cleanup, or lack-of, and overall just generally easier use.

In the 110 division...
(still working on it)

In the 220 division...
-Lincoln 175, 180
-Hobart Handler 187

I've heard that the Hobart is really just a re-badged Miller. It's been touted as the best bang for the buck in the welders. I'm kinda leaning that way if I can find a good deal on one.

I'm still doing research, so any suggestions, recommendations, advice is greatly appreciated. $Beer Chug\'n$

DTB · « **Reply #251 on:** May 29, 2008, 12:10:03 PM »

220 for sure...there are a few models out now with dual voltage (110 and 220) if you really do that much traveling ...

For 220 You can make an extension with (2)110 plugs that plug into different outlets on different circuits..

I'm not an electrician so I dont know how safe that is but I know it works if you have them wired correctly....no hot wires or anything....

YotaJosh · « **Reply #252 on:** May 29, 2008, 01:59:31 PM »

220 is the way to go if you're investing in one.

But, I do like the portability of a 110. I'm probably going to get a Hobart Handler 140. Northern Tool has free shipping on them

(http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200306073_200306073)

If you want more local, I know that the Atwoods in Arkadelphia has a ton of Hobart welders and supplies. I was drooling on them the last time I went down to help Glen with his truck.

I think I might go with a welding shop nearby. I'm going to pull on all the connections... Really, all 2 of them

that I have in the welding world. Then I might have to take you up, Glen, and get some stuff delivered to ya. Eff, gas is 'spensive though. I might ride my bike to see you.

Hot diggity darn. Let's make a swap, shall we?

That'd be great if it works out. Any idea on the day? I owe you one!

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #257 on:** Jun 04, 2008, 08:00:14 PM »

Atwood's has the Hobart Handler 187 for $599, so after tax maybe $660 or so? Looks pretty tempting...

Glen, when you up in Hot Springs?

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #258 on:** Jun 05, 2008, 04:55:17 PM »

That thing looks like it fell out of the back of a wagon train.

Get a Gas sheilded wire welder......best bang for the buck.

Welp, I think I'll be in Arkadelphia tomorrow to pick up the HH 187

I'm gonna have to work a second job, but I think this is the best bang for the buck in the long run

Glen, I'll try to make it to your house and exchange some stuff

man that new Hobart looks

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #264 on:** Jun 07, 2008, 07:50:52 PM »

Thanks

I found the Hobart Handler 187 for $599.99 plus tax, so I thought that was a pretty good deal. All the stuff I've read has pointed to the Hobarts being a great bang-for-the-buck welder, so I bit the bullet and bought. Now I'm poor... again... BUT, I start work on Monday

Glen, I hope you feel better, mayne. You didn't seem so hot today

First on the agenda is to make a cart for the welder. I didn't think it was worth the money to buy one. We'll see what I say in a couple weeks about that... It's pretty heavy though, so that needs to happen soon

I'll post up when I get set up

Yea, I've seen Millers and Lincolns go cheaper, but I really have heard good things about the HH 187. Has 7 adjustments for amperage. Even before I started looking at welders, Dennis recommended the HH 187. He's a welder

or something close to that, so I trust his opinion. They seem to be pretty popular, too. Regardless, it's done, and now I'm working on building a cart. Gives me an excuse to use the bender and welder

I got one of the hoops layed out for the cart last night. Big learning curve on the bender, but I think I've got it figured out... Well, kinda...

I'm a lucky guy. Not to mention she's real mellow and easy to deal with. She doesn't ask too much of me. Just a phone call a day keeps her from being pregnant dog-ay
