Hey Forum,:icon_cool::lifting:

I am looking to make some modifications to my ATV so do any of you know any good welding machines by good welding companies....i am looking to cut some metal and hopefully weld some also. I need a good price though because most of them are really expensive.:happy:

i have used a little wire welder that plugs into a normal plug in the garage 110 to weld frames up used flux wire it done good they are cheap and i think walmart sells them

if your not gonna weld a real lot habor freight, northern tool gosh there are alot more i just cant think of any but they will do what you want wire feed is alot easier to learn i think arc welding you got to practice to get any good. good luck

I just bought a Hobart 140 mig. I love it. It was somewhere around 500.
It will weld flux core and gas.

Hobart or Miller would be my top choice. I would prefer one that ran on 220 but thats just my preference, I do a lot of welding. Billy would be a good one to help with this question, he does a lot of fab work.

miller makes hobart. id go with miller or hobart. id get a lincolon if the price was right

i got a Hobart 140 mig with shelding gas its a nice welder !! you could just find someone loc that can weld good and givem a fuw bucks $$

Harbor freight has pretty good prices on them not sure who actually makes them. I have an old Lincoln stick welder and it can be a pain to use for a novice like myself but it does get the job done.

I have a 90 amp mig from Harbor freight.does what I want it to do.You're not going to hang 2 ton over your head with it,but it welded my trailer together.only like $110.

 

[ostrx250]

heck yea token i just had someone offer me a old boat trailer i think will work good for a small hauler and think the harbor freight welder will do just fine atvman tell us what you get

 

[elmerkit]

Go for miller you will never regret it just make sure to have extra money.

Actually everybody i have gotten my longevity machine in and it is great it allows me to stick weld,arc weld and plasma cut. i couldn't have asked for a better machine for the price of what i was asking for....:icon_ lala::icon_ lala::icon_ lala::icon_ lala:

Many, many moons ago I bought Lincoln's best 110 mig, I think it's an SP175. While it doesn't recommend it, I've welded 3/16 steel to 3/8 steel on my hot rod chassis and never had a problem (i.e. break or crack). I use Ar/CO2 gas with it, and upgraded the wire and sheath right after I bought it to handle bigger wire (I think it's .030). It probably helps I learned to weld on an AC/DC 220 buzz box. I sold the buzz box!
