Went back out and the welder didn't work still so I opened the case and found the controller has a little bity fuse.  There was nothing but dust inside it!  Also the motor that runs the feeder seems to be leaking oil.  I am going to go find a couple of these fuses and hope I can get a little more life out of it, but the welder may be done for.  :dunno:  I was hoping this thing would be enough to get me through till I had a garage with 22oV, but I may need to upgrade to a better quality machine here.

That is unfortunate about your welder.

Looks like the fuse was the issue.  Don't know about the oil from the e-motor, but the little welder that could was back in business today.  Finished up all the welding. The only thing I didn;t finish up was the front mount for the fairlead.  I mocked up the roller and decided it just sticks out too damn far, so I think I am going to order up a hawse fairlead.  Anyway here it is:

I also wish I had something bigger than gopher knots to  drive up. I just ordered Marlins high steer setup for bluey. I should be getting it tomorrow. I can finally take off the home built unit thats on there.

Johnny liked the flywheel, it was a little heavy for him though.  Once the clutch is done, there are only a couple small things left and I might have it to a wheelable point.
