I've been doing some more work with the RW. I did a spring under axle swap with a set of deavers, mounted some 18" stroke radflo's with bumps, cut my frame and undovetailed it, gusseted reinforced....man I'm glad I have this readywelder,lol.
 and of course I had to test the strength of the welds...    _________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2109419 |

Thanks for the discount, but I figure I should pay retail for a "stupid tax". I was welding along when the welder stopped feeding. Figuring I melted a tip and the wire was stuck, I unscrewed the tip and pulled the trigger but still no feed, so I pulled the case of the gun and found the problem, I was out of wire,lol. At this point I should have unplugged the welder, but being a moron I continued to change the spool and while pulling the last bit of old wire through it arced out on the trigger mech and fried the circuit board. Yeah I wish I could have gone to KOH too, but I couldn't get off work during the weekdays.

Either way, discount still applies._________________ Sincerely, The ReadyWelder Forum Administrator "Ready Welder II: The World's Most Portable Versatile MIG Welder in the World!" |

I'm working on getting a roll cage installed. So far I've put about 5 lbs of wire and 120' of tubing into this thing.
  and a fresh action shot (pre-cage)   _________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2109419 |
