Re: [MBZ] OT Welder
Yeah I have a tracking number and signed up for updates. I think it only weighs like 25lb so less than the dog food I get by fedex. But the postal service here is awful. It’ll probably get stolen by these local delivery clowns or I’ll get a “delivered” notice then it will be nowhere to be found, or an undeliverable notice that my address doesn’t exist.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welder
USPS for that size item will come truck freight, LTL [less than truck load] so it will be consolidated with other shipments and items going sort in the same direction, loaded, unloaded, reloaded, and sent out again for the next leg of the shipment to somewhere sort of in your direction Expect at least 15 days transit, or more. I hope the sales house gave you a tracking number [and insurance]. Good luck!

Too bad it's not a rear bumper. Those are easy to come by in the aftermarket. Don't know about the fronts. The plastic on these seems to be really brittle and just a tap will cause them to shatter.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welder
I started out rebuilding and repairing Miller 400A "buzz boxes" (as we called them) for pipeline and tank builders for one of my Dad's customers right out of high school. With the right stick you could butt weld 1/4" plate and thicker with one of those things. Worked on Lincoln Pipeliners, too, the engine driven Lincolns that used a 4 cylinder Continental engine. Those things were the 240D of the welding business. Never formally learned to weld, but I can push a mean puddle with a stick welder. We had MIG and TIG welders, too, but those took some time and practice to master. Also learned why you never wanted shirts or pants with cuffs when you welded, too... -D From: Mercedes on behalf of Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes Sent: Monday, February 7, 2022 6:45 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Buggered Benzmail Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Welder The Lincoln Electric stick machine I am using at the college is a big nice machine, inverter with knobs for amps and other settings and some push buttons for stuff and digital numbers.
