I'm a laid off furniture maker and considering taking a welding program. 30 years old. I don't know if I'm too old to get started in such a career

[wagner59270]

[mortie806]

[SavageHmr]

[wagner59270]

the 7018 is a really good finish rod makes a beautiful weld and raises your overall tensile strength 10k LBS keep up the good work

[atcklx]

Love the long neck on the trailer so you can pick it up. Brilliant.

I think I might know why the tractor doesn't like to start. Somebody told me that if you use ether on a diesel engine, especially off road diesel (tractors n such). they become dependent on it in order to start. Now I don't know how that works but after seeing what your tractor puts you through it sort of makes sense. BTW get a Kubota. lol

[wagner59270]

you are exactly right unfortunately this tractor was like that when we bought it so... I guess theres no avoiding it now kinda sucks but oh well

[farmboy30117]

LMAO, where did that fence come from??

[kiwicowcocky]

the ether brand we use here is called "start ya bastard"

[wagner59270]

ha ha ha LMFAO thats funny as all hell

[bergercw]

whats a rod heater

[wagner59270]

a rod heater is kind of like a small oven that keeps your rods heated to a certain temp so that the flux will stay intact

[weldcrazy10]

thats a neat welder i saw one at a auction once kind of wish i would of bought it i would of never thought it was that old

[wagner59270]

yah forney arc apparently mad a pretty good welder

[redneckman454]

welds dont look too bad

[wagner59270]

ahh definirtly not my best work but I guess itll hold

[redneckman454]

very nice i have some welding videos and many more are coming

[wagner59270]

Ill have to check that out for sure Im afraid Im not very good at welding so I could use some tutorials

[redneckman454]

ya ill have more on different things each week

[BUCKSHOTcat]

it works great for hooking up goose neck tralers

[BUCKSHOTcat]

there a good bed and it dubbls as a dump bed

[wagner59270]

hmm well that would be pretty cool

[BUCKSHOTcat]

what u need is a canonball bale bed

[wagner59270]

Ive never heard of a canonball bale bed but all the hydra beds weve looked at are way too much for all the more round bales we handle... most years we feed all small square bales... last year was a dry hay year though so we had to buy all the large rounds

[cybr]

I guess you won't be dropping a bale off at that spot anymore.

[wagner59270]

no most likely not... I should have seen that coming

[Sparkington9]

Wow a very old welder, I'm sure that if you had a modern welder it wouldn't last as long as this old beast. Lol your crack addict tractor still cracks me up :)

[wagner59270]

yeah ha ha i cant believe that thing still isnt starting without ether
