Re: [MBZ] OT: lawn mower transaxle
Hi Allan, How do you like the HF mig welder? They're on sale at the nearest HF store. Gerry '83 300D -- From: Allan Streib str...@cs.indiana.edu I fooled with it for a while longer tonight. Lacking any chisels small enough to really get in there, I tried various screwdrivers and other likely implements, all to no avail. Drenched in sweat and pissed off, in a fit of anger I grabbed the Harbor Freight MIG and welded the wheels to the axles. I may regret this at some point, but at least I can get the grass cut again.

Re: [MBZ] OT: lawn mower transaxle
Mine has four power levels As does my name-brand Hobart 135. I thought that would suck, but so far it's not been much of a problem. It has a smoothly variable wire speed, Ditto. but the wire feed drive is pretty flimsy looking; OK, there it's different, the Hobart seems generally well-built. It's certainly heavy enough, as it's old-school iron and copper. I did OK for $50 (and many hours restoring it to functionality). The thing I most noticed about the HF units in the store is the feel/quality of the switch on the gun. Uck. The duty cycle is usually notably low on these welders, too. Like many of their tools, though, I'm sure it's WAY better than no welder at all. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] home AC does not seem to be working that well
maybe it was just in my head but it seemed like the house was cooler after that. Will wait and see how it turned out though. I always wonder why when I was sitting in my office upstairs and if the wife was on the back porch on the grille or something I could smell it up there. I guess it was because the smell would go up thru the ceiling in the porch attic vents and get sucked into the AC. Craig McCluskey wrote: On Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:39:19 -0500 Kaleb C.

[MBZ] Was lawn mower transaxle converted to WELDING
I was a fairly competent stick welder, haven't had any equipment for 20 years. I bought a cheap 110v MIG about 15 years ago, spend stupid money to get the gas coverage bottle set-up. I couldn't weld crap with it! It was terrible, I gave up and put in in a corner. About 5years ago, I mentioned to a coworker. He convinced me to buy a roll of flux wire. Shazam, I can weld again! It's dirty and you have to chip and wire brush after each small pass but it works. The secret is that these little machinnes don't have the power to melt the .035 solid wire and penetrate the work. The flux cored wire is much easier to melt and will do the job, IF YOU ARE PATIENT. My favorite project is a 55 gallon BBQ on wheels. I stuck it together with my MIG. Tossed it into my truck and went to a friends house where i 'Made it one piece' with his cheapo stick machine. I made the drum easy to swap out (They burn rust thru}.

We saw it from the highway but it was on the other side of the road and we could not be bothered to turn the bus around.

Re: [MBZ] No news from our OZ-friends lately...
We loved the Big Texan steak house, met a real life cowboy, pictures will be posted for Wiltons judgement, and had the band play Johnny Cash with an Aussie twist. As I said, a ex Marine took the challenge and I got a picture of the slab of meat. I felt bad because later I talked to him and he said he chocked on a large chunk, I should have advised him to spend time to cut that meat into tiny pieces to make it easier to chew and swallow, instead I just wished him good luck. We stayed at the attached Big Texan motel and that was a real experience, remind me when I get home to post pictures. Hendrik who is busy people spotting in the pit On Mon Jun 21 6:27 , 'Kaleb C.

Yeah well it passed the BMW model today, nooo problems, actually I think the Beemer was broken down because the yuppie driver forgot to fuel up because he was too busy on the phone.
