yeah but the thing that suck about those welders is you can't weld on yourself. You only can weld on something if you can take it off the vehicle

If I remember correctly he was working on a way around that as well.

I will deffinatly be interested to see how that works.

Dang it I knew what you were hidding in that box, if you'd had waited a day. I saw your question and said it a welder, then I scrolled down and saw that you let the cat out of the bag. Excellent idea to put it in the ammo box.

black92se · « **Reply #1926 on:** Jul 28, 2006, 03:35:23 PM »

You cant weld to yourself? That sucks. I will liek to see hwo you work that out.

I spoke to Premier about this and they said you can't use a positive ground / neg lead on your own rig.

BUT if you are like me and don't need electric to run your rig and can disconnect the electrial system from the rig you can do what ever you please.

I was also told that using a positive electrode still does a good job because they use a high frequency DC that helps.

I have yet to try it so I can't comment.

What fuel pump? The injection pump by it's self can suck the tank flat. What do I need with a fuel pump?

i meant injection pump, older diesels usually had a electric solenoid that cut the fuel supply to kill the engine, but had a screw to turn to keep it from cutting the fuel if the alt went bad

to run cooler poor a qt of used motor oil back into the tank, for HP use ATF in the tank

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1933 on:** Jul 28, 2006, 07:39:46 PM »

What part of NO power is needed to operate the engine in the Mammoth do you not understand?

Once it is started it will not stop till you kill it manually or I run out of fuel on the interstate.

It actually welds pretty smooth once it gets going through the high frequency DC, you can't build a skyscraper but for on the trail quick fixes and tow recievers on a motorhome they work just great.

Got the exo cage sanded and painted.

As I was moving some plywood to lay the pieces out I found that little guy in the first picture laying in the grass. He's about the size of half dollar. A baby alligator snapper!

I can't believe that little guy is going to grow into some so huge and mean and nasty.
Course I wouldn't put my finger near that guy even that little either!

Lady Di · « **Reply #1938 on:** Jul 29, 2006, 09:55:02 AM »

as you can see I made good use of the plant hanger a friend gave me as a gift. LOL!

sure looks funny when you see all that tubing off the rig. It just looks like a messed up stick of tube.

I'm waiting for it to dry to touch up whatever I missed on the back sides.

It is now *feels like 95* with 53% humiditity.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #1942 on:** Jul 29, 2006, 11:09:27 AM »

Been too busy to keep up to date, but this is what has gotten done this weekend.

The welder is installed and working.
The 5 point harnesses are installed.
The front bump stops are in and a list of other small stuff.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1945 on:** Aug 06, 2006, 06:07:38 PM »

This seems to work really well, it is way hot and welds in both polarity's without a problem.

It is better with a positive ground, but has no trouble with a negative ground, just need to push the rod in a little more to get the fill.

Even runs the grinder with no trouble.

Can't wait to see how it runs the coffee maker.

Sweetness...wish I had one!
Ive read elsewhere that those things put out some SERIOUS heat.

Yes, so long as the motor has brushes.
