So I just ordered a 2 ton chain hoist for lifting stuff out of the back of my truck and what not, and I have some sturdy trees around my yard to hook it to but I was thinking of making some kind of A-frame stand to mount the hoist on and then back my truck underneath the a frame to lift whatever it ...

More pics....I can't find any info on this machine, anyone ever seen one before?

I met a guy while working out of town and he is selling me an old general electric 200 amp welder for 100 dollars, he claims it runs and welds, just needs plugs, wires, fuel line, carb cleaned, etc.. just a good tune up, be is going to deliver to me for another 100, he lives 3 hours away

ok i couldnt upload the diagram but you can find it at the miller website, just go to service, owners manual, and look for the roughneck 1E model and the wiring diagram will be in the manual

well i have the wiring diagram and have looked at it for weeks now and looked inside the machine and everything is hooked up right, but is a circuit breaker and circuit board missing and the #2 wire isnt hooked up anywhere because there is no #2 circuit breaker, ill see if i can upload the wiring di...

well i have had zero luck on getting this machine working, i cant find the circuit breakers or capacitors anywhere online, and i think it might be missing a circuit board too from what i see in the wiring diagram, it was worth a shot though

so i was on my way to work this morning, same drive as usual, that is until i see a pickup truck ahead of me.......with cutting torch bottles in the back, duct taped to one another, flowmeters still on the bottles with no caps.....in the bed of his truck leaned on the tailgate bouncing and sliding a...
