    Cheapest MIG on Ebay

    After I deemed my Mig welder unrepairable by myself ( not good at soldering circuit boards ) I ordered this welder. It’s the Hitbox MT2000 II. It’s a multiprocess welder. Does stick, Mig. Flux core and lift tig ( tig torch isn’t included ). I paid $138 for it. Of course NY tax brought it up to...

    My MIG has issues

    My MIG is a Neiko tools MIG 135 that I bought in 2009. It’s one of the old Hobart MIG 140 clones that were available then. Eastwood, Northern and many off brands were sold. In storage for about 2 years. When I turn it on now it has a really loud buzz, which I’m thinking is loose windings. It...

    New guy with a scratch built cab

    I started building this in 2009 and I have on and off worked on it. More off than on because it has never been right. Originally I built a T bucket frame for it but scrapped that because early front end parts were expensive for an early 20s kid. The picture is where it sat 10 years ago or so...
