ProZac Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Old welder is up for grabs, swing me a txt if your keen? I'd be after around $350 with a regulator aswell i rekon. I think i paid $500 odd for it on staff when i bought it... Comes with whatever wire is in it aswell, hah! Can also do you a cheap deal on an auto darkening helmet like mine. Yeah, im hoping the cortina mounts will make it sit a bit lower, just getting the sump to clear will be the majour issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 id give you a fidy without the regulator cuz thats all i gots and im fed up with tiggering things also dont ever fit a gemini front to a shuvel its sacrelidge i tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You rekon? But it turns it into a kadett! (basically). I'd be after a bit more than a fiddy alas. Anytime you wanna mig something up tho let me know. Cant really loan out my new welder, but your more than welcome to shoot over and use it. I only have CO2 tho, not as good as argon mix, but its still better than gasless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 im an argon whore, used the lancer to pick my big bottle up....had to bungey cord the back door closed lol'd at your new welder at first glance i thought it was called a 'slag' then i saw the picture and realized it said stag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 IMHO - Argoshield is mush mush bettaz than straight Argon - straight Argon is better for non ferrous metals however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProZac Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Discuss away. Bubblegoose doesnt know this yet, but im for sure going to tax his tigging abilities in the not to distant future.

ProZac Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 yup, custom sump is the plan, i dont see it being to tricky, and i know a couple of people i can take it to to tell me how stupid im being and how it SHOULD be done, heh. You want a mig welder? buy my old one! nothing wrong with it, goes well enough, comes with most of a roll of .6 aswell, hah. $300 without regulator if your keen?

ProZac Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thats the outfit that used to be Asco isnt it? Thats who i rent from also, rental is like $8 a month or something, and refills of co2 are also very cheap. Do you know if they do any argon/co2 mixes? Will definatly give them a ring tomorrow.

ProZac Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Washing machine case? heh, thats what alot of my dad's one tonner is made out of. Next time your in repco, have a look at the shelves out the back, they're just over 1mm thick mild steel, hah. The powercoating is a bitch to get off, but one of those has served me well so far. Someone climbed on one and bent it a bit, no good for the store, but good for me, hah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
