cruizer's old post.

[Sonora Iron]

I know cruizer is on a sabbatical. Maybe someone can help me I'm trying to find an old post by cruizer, why I didn't save it I have know idea. I tried to search his posts, but with over 3,800 I may not live long enough to find the one I'm after.

Seems as I remember cruizer saying something about when you get a new machine you should plug it in, turn it on and let it set for something like 4-hours, to let the capacitors level out or something. Anybody remember this?

Yep, I remember reading that also. I cant recall exactly why it should be done but i did think it was good to remember if i ever fell into something new that wasnt engine driven.

new machine "run-in"

You must " run-in " or break-in your new machine by connecting to a load bank for a period of time, or welding. To break in my Pro 300 I just burnt a box of 3/16 when I was supposed to be working. My USER MANUAL was helpful with the exact specifications.

Sonora was referring to a shop machine not an engine drive.

Where you been? You've been missed!

Nope not blue. Another impulse buy, so I'd rather not say anything more just incase it was a huge mistake, (not huge, didn't cost much). If it was a mistake, I'd never own up to it anyway!

You think your Lincolns are 100% made in USA?
We all know Millers and Hobarts aren't.

[JSFAB]

heck, our president isn't even made 100% in the USA .......

[Sonora Iron]

I probably have as much if not more American iron than anyone here. Lincolns, 1948, 1954, 1955, 1964, 1966, 1970, 1974.

This new machine has one option I'm interested in, the next brand cost 6 x more.

No editorial comments intended Sonora, I was only laughing because of the way those two posts went together.
