your a fucking goof mate you said you dident use a welder in a message now your saying you dident say it wake the fuck up and get off the fucking crack dude.
@obieezx11: Yes, I am quite the goof, but that's neither here nor there. Tip of the day...Scroll down the comments and see who actually said that they did not use a welder. (Hint: You won't have to scroll far.) Peace.
ok who said this build was under 100 bullshit by the time you brought all the shit needed then payed for all the power used to make it and as they say here in oz every hour someone uses to build anything everyones times worth at least 20 bucks it would be cheeper to buy one and yer i know it was fun building it but be realistic on what it cost to build.
@obieezx11: Not sure if this comment is directed at me, but from project start to finish, out of pocket (for parts) cost me around $70 (cables, connectors, lugs).
@sunny5rising that dude is just trolling, his argument is flawed and he cannot accept it. I however have found inspiration in your video, and as per your challenge will be making a vid of my build. I have everything I need, but the alternator I have needs new bearings in it, so till then.....
@Thepockets88: Thanks, I will certainly keep it up! Yeah, it is unfortunate that some folks would rather bash others rather than learn or teach, but it does keep things interesting sometimes, lol.
@obieezx11 Your argument is weak and full of flaws, you should just quite while you still can. You said you could buy a comparable welder on ebay for less than $100 and you are wrong...any way you look at it. Even if you did buy a mig for slightly less than $100 the shipping would add another 50% to that...then you suggest buying a generator? ...Thats just stupid, the money would ad up to 3x's that of your original argument...please just stop trolling, its annoying.
@utoobube even if a person went and bought the biggest hunk of junk 110v welder wire or arc both junk, and spent another MINIMUM $100 bucks on a cheap junk generator, then thats exactly what they would have is cheap junk at a cost of $200. Your original comment you asked why someone would build this welder...well he says he has a total of $70 bucks in it...and its way better than that other junk...theres your answer.
@obieezx11 Maybe he didnt pay for electricity? And as for his time, you obviously havent taken into account that he may have not had anything better to do anyway...thus making it free time? Yes, there is such a thing as free time, that is when there is nothing else to do, and one is bored enough to do whatever they feel like, what an ignorant waste of air you are, lol.
@utoobube what a load of hot cock dude 50% for postage that depends were it is if it was in my town witch a lot of stuff is it would take 50cents to go and get it think outside the box cock head you need to give up your talking shit anyway ive wasted enough time here with you morons this is the last time ill be back here your all duch bags and brainless and you dont stimulat my head enought to bother comeing back to this video
@obieezx11 LMAO, you do realize you sound like a flaming queer, with all your talk of "hot cock" and "cock head" ...sounds like you have dick on the brain, lol! Yes, shipping can be expensive here in the U.S, but it is still a factor in your argument....your flawed, trolling, argument. You ARE a waste of time...but it has been fun watching you get your panties all in a bunch over something that you do not, nor will ever understand...so go, spend all your hard earned money on something you can...
@utoobube build yourself...and power isnt that expensive...it may have cost him $10 U.S in electricity total...and he has the satisfaction of knowing he built the machine himself...something you will never understand son.
@obieezx11 haha, you're not coming back because you know your argument is flawed beyond any justification of further discussion. Now, go play and let the big boys talk business. Didnt you're daddy ever tell you children are supposed to be seen and not heard?
@obieezx11 it wasen't it was that other dick head but your forgetting the power used for the build and your time its always worth at least 20 dollars an hour so put all that together and thats what it cost you
@obieezx11: Honestly, there was no significant increase of my electric bill for me to even notice. So the energy argument is pretty pointless in my opinion. Time... time is a constant. Time was going to go by anyway, whether I'm sitting on my butt OR building a welder. I didn't have to buy any, so it was free. Really though, it sounds like you need to calm down man. You are wasting too much energy on such a goofy argument. You just might blow an o-ring, and they aren't cheap. Peace.
I built my on board welder and it only cost me about $85 and i can throw a bead on 1/4 inch steel if i want too. the wrecking yard is a tinkers best friend i got the 140 amp large case ford alt for 30 bucks and custom cables set me back another $50 and then 5 for misc connectors etc... for the bracket i reused the smog pump bracket. i already had the choke cable. the dollar amount for total cost is very mod-able depending on what you already have around the shop.........
@Thepockets88 yes but what about the power used to make it and your time your fogetting about that makes it sound cheep with out the 250 worth of power you used son
What power did i use to make it? the drill for holes, i welded no brackets, etc.. and my time is free for me to blow however i see fit. if your talking about the fuel used to run it thats a collective cost of powering the tool same as if you plug one in and does not count towards the building cost. And you might think calling other people "son" makes you sound cool KID but its actually an insult to our elders who earned the right. so i appreciate it if you diddent call me so.
@welderboy14: So far I have not had to add a rheostat. I have just been using the welder at its full power. When I do add one, I'll do a video update.
@Sunny5rising... Very nice! you're damn smart! Curious, what type of welder did you use to help you along welding up some pieces on your build? At one point, I saw you had welding rod, so I assumed you used a stick machine. Amps, polarity, rod type please??? On another part, I couldn't tell, but I thought you had either a mig or tig set up. Wire size and type, Welder model please???? Again, AWESOME BUILD!!!! I'm jealous! Thanks for answering my questions if you can.
@ColtDeltaElite10mm: Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I used an arc welder to help with the build. The welder used is a 120 Amp Chicago Electric. Model 98870 from Harbor Freight Tools. The output is AC. I used either E6013 or E7014. I don't have a mig or tig, so I can't help you there.
i love my on board air system, its already paid for its self as well, just with the little shit i do around to farm and what not having a air ratchet out in the barn or compressed air to fill tires when off road. its more then paid for itself
lol you needed a welder to build your welder :) otherwise awesome project. in fact you have inspired me to make a video of my alt welder on my truck for youtube
@Thepockets88: Thanks for the compliment. Let me know when you get your video up so I can check it out. A welder was not actually needed for this project. The parts that I did weld (battery tray, alternator brackets) could have been purchased and bolted on. I just preferred to make my own this time around.
realy cool but you can buy them now for under a 100 bucks why would you bother id spend more of my time makeing shit no one else has befor you have the tallent so why copy others shit man.
@sunny5rising because ppl like me have stuff like that layin around! ...and WHERE I wonder can one find a GAS powered welder (portable) for under $100? I will buy one today if he can tell me;) Great vid! I will start mine this weekend!
@obieezx11 HaHa, yeah ok. Good luck with that. Ive looked on ebay and a gas powered welder doesnt sell that cheap. Besides, with the size and weight of a welder like that the shipping would cost you that much.
@utoobube buy a mig online 100 then buy a fucking genorator not a lot more walah a gas welder if thats what your talking about i thought you ment a gas welder as in a mig with gas but i see you jokers are in america and gas there is petrol here.
@obieezx11 not gas powered welders... all NEW gas welders are $1000+... you could MAYBE buy one with a fucked engine, and none of the welding stuff works on it for $100...MAYBE. and you can only buy cheap ac welders for under 200.
I'll make that vid: nine welders and no camera! yet, In a 1975 engineering book Mark's says "MIG power supply should INCREASE voltage as amp draw increases..." HUH? Only way I know how to do that is a SERIES wound generator. Got a 20hp LP Honda, 90 amp perm mag motor - and by playing with the drive ration on a car starter I should get what I want. You'll know, I'll contact you then.
@mowrman100: Wow! Sell one of your welders and buy a camera, lol. Just kidding! If you are like me, you don't get rid of tools. It will be very interesting to see what you have going on there with that setup. Woohoo, I get to learn something new!
Corvair fan on GM delco alternator for reverse rot, I just spin em real fast and bend the blades to higher radial pitch ( hint: use acetylene) You guys should try a 50 amp or bigger permanent magnet DC motor off of a battery floor burnisher - makes a hell of a MIG power supply if you put 24v of batteries in parallel with it...
@mowrman100: Thanks for the tip on the reversed fan. I'm sure people will find that helpful. On the burnisher DC motor idea... Is this something that you have tried or put together already to power a MIG? If so, it would be great if you could make a video so people can see it in action, and learn from it. Thanks again for the tips.
@MegaCophater: Yes, you are correct. I could have done that if I really wanted to, but I would have had to get a reversed fan for the alternator OR come up with a pulley system to raise the belt height to match the alternators orientation. I just know that made sense, lol. Really though, the axle on this tractor was fried, so I just tore it apart to make it freewheel.
@sunny5rising Oh yeah, gotcha on the fried axle. Just wanted to toss my opinion out into the open, (kept rewatching it, couldn't figure out why you tore out the gears; now i do!) couldn't hold it down.
@MsCraigslister: The alternator is putting out DC (DC Positive or DC Negative depending on which way I connect the cables at the twist connectors). Though I did remove the exciter diode, the bridge rectifier is still intact and in use. One cable is attached to the alternator output (bridge rectifier) and the other cable is connected to the alternator case (for ground). As of now, I have not measured the output voltage or amperage, but this is a 12V system running a modified 78A alternator.
Ey man, nice job, is the battery just for starting the engine, or is it hooked up to the alternator in some way, Do i need a battery if i have a pull start engine?
@anthacdc: Thanks. The battery is for both starting the engine and for exciting the magnetic field within the alternator. You can use a pull start, but you will still need a battery to excite the field in the alternator. Now this would not be true if you used a permanent magnet alternator, which requires no electrical input.
@nomadd15: Removing the exciter diode (diode trio) allows complete control of the field current by external means. Though the capacitor does not need to be removed, I took it out since I do not need to worry about radio noise.
couldnt you have just made the alternator brackets hook under the lawn tractor then use the mower deck pully to power the alternator? then you could drive the lawntractor to where ever you needed it instead of pulling it.
@brodie1709: No, I had to raise the engine (7 inches in this case) so the alternator would not hit the ground. Also, there has to be enough space behind the alternator to provide adequate cooling.
@cowboy1938: Wow, I watched all four of your home made welder videos. I really enjoyed watching your progression from the test model up to your finished welder. Excellent work and very nice welder!
so how long does the altenator last looking at how small the circuits are on the inside i know their removed but still the output wires inside the altenator are small isnt that alot of amperage for such small outputs?
@jfkyz125: How long the alternator lasts has yet to be determined. So far so good. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think the wires you are referring to are the ones connecting the brushes. These wires do not carry very many amps, as this is the circuit that simply activates the alternator. In the wiring diagram (at 5:55), this is where I have the line fused at 10 amps.

@jfkyz125: How long the alternator lasts has yet to be determined. So far so good. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think the wires you are referring to are the ones connecting the brushes. These wires do not carry very many amps, as this is the circuit that simply activates the alternator. In the wiring diagram (at 5:55), this is where I have the line fused at 10 amps.
