I've got an older Century MIG welder and use the shielding gas. Way nicer to work with and way cleaner welds (I need that as I am not a pro welder like CrazyglueNDfile is.

)

Spend the few extra dollars whenever you buy a welder and get one that you can change the polarity to weld aluminum, uses sheilding gas and that you can use as 110v or 220v.

I appreciate willing young helpers (or willing old helpers for that matter

). Bummer about the cooler line, but at least you found a replacement engine.

I'm not a pro, just a hack. I am becoming a pretty good grinder, though.

Ahh man.....Ok Got the welder out after a 40 mile ride on the DR this evening.....it works....it splatters...lol...it didnt stick together...lol...I think I need to play with this thing more....tried using the adjustments on the inside panel.....oh well Im learning.....adjust this then that.....when this spool of flux wire is out Ill spring for the Argon and co2 mix,,,,then see what happens.

Oh Weld Im not posting any picks of the welds of today...lol

I think that you need to reverse polarity when using flux core. Perhaps your instructions will detail that.

I believe so too. I checked it on my hobart to confirm it was set right. I have everything, but the bottle.

If a person was to grade mud, that would receive an A+.
