The doohickey came loose.

It doesn't just oxidize more quickly. It oxidizes pretty much immediately, and its oxidized layer protects it from further oxidation. The good news is that it's perfectly okay, and nothing needs to be done about it.

Desiccant doesn't do anything about oxidation....

I fire a couple customers every year. I get enough business to not deal with them.

Hobart and Miller machines use a different sized attachment for the gun lead. It might be easier to adapt than a normal gun because there isn't a wire going through it.

vertical up or vertical down? Try both. Vertical up is required for some jobs, but not most, and vertical down can be significantly easier as gravity works with your travel direction.

Don't just do what the machine tells you. Experiment with wire feed speed as you weld.

Are you starting from a full-profile slide?

You can FILE a front sight dovetail? In a half hour?

Pics didn't show up; and I was really looking forward to them! I'm no gunsmith, but I consider myself an armorer level enthusiast for anything I own, which is substantial.

What is your experience in fixing motor mounts?

Are you a real person? Every one of your posts has been a cut-and-paste advertisement that wasn't relevant to the thread it was in.........

[MAC702]

In bulk, yes. At us end users, no. The liquid in our tanks is at ambient temperature....

[MAC702]

Are you going to have to buy it based on pics and have it shipped, or are you able to go test it yourself? Are you experienced enough to know what it can do so you can test all parts of it?

I'm leery of anyone that replaced a Miller Syncrowave with an Everlast. Something doesn't add up...

[MAC702]

Good question. Most of us don't have Miller/Smith torch equipment, but there might be a few. In addition to being a Victor man, I'm all acetylene. Over the years, I've learned I usually had a bigger tip than I really needed.

[MAC702]

Did you get lucky on the threaded holes, or have to make a couple more?

[MAC702]

diesel?...

First place to look is how the new input power plug was wired. Next is the Auto-Link circuit that handles the incoming power.

You just got it, but from what source? KNOWN to be welding just fine before you got it?

[MAC702]

I tired of these abbreviations for what the machine model is. I assumed it was a stick welder, but it's a wire feed job. So I'm back to not knowing what machine we are even talking about.

[MAC702]

I'll bet you also learned to have a backup spool of wire in your shop! Just having it available to test would have saved the whole two trips to service centers.

Another way to test would have been to release the drive rolls and just pull the wire through the gun lead (without contact tip)...

[MAC702]

Are you referring to the starter solenoid for the electric start?

Are you able to access the part and get a number off of it?

I'm betting it's a common part used in lots of applications. You might even find one (or similar enough) at your local auto parts store.

[MAC702]

Agreed. And there is a big difference between welding crack repairs for the cargo deck, and welding on the suspension and steering components.

Sometimes you get the vibe that a hack is about to be negligent, but this thread isn't one of them....
