Ya here's the stick rake partially done. Still going to make the quick connect for the excavator and some other things. This is the design the customer wanted. Biz400 plates(AR400) pre heat and post heat with 3 passes each side. Over 70 meters of weld! (230')

This coming week I'm building a stick rake for an excavator. Anyone ever done this? Most of the time they are on dozers but customer wants it on his excavator.

That canopy has helped like none other. Her is Aus the sun gets so strong and you can just feel in scolding you.

Thanks for that Steve! I thought it came out great knowing it was done out on site.

And jasper the weight was around 3500lbs

Total time to do it all was just around 38 hours. This was done by myself with no TA. Stick welded out.
I think considering the fact that I was by myself cut everything on site and did it all off the back of my truck that is pretty good. What do you guys reckon?

This was all done off the back of my truck using a mobile set up. There were no drawings or anything. So I had to figure everything out myself. Over her in Aus the shs/rhs comes painted or galv.

Ya that's what was done when quoting it. I sourced the materials and like you said had them pay that up front and then charged the hourly rate.
I just wanted to know how long you think it would take you guys to build such a thing.

Hey guys just wondering on your guys prices on making a dirt screen like this. Say if materials where all supplied and it was just for you to fab it and weld it. What would you guys charge? It's 3meters x3m , 3m high in the back and 2m in the front. Thanks! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1408613233.052502.j...

If I do get this installed it will be quick to change between those three right? I am mobile and don't have limits to what I do, so basically anything that is needed. If you could give me that guys name and email that would be great. I could then ask him about this option. Sent from my iPhone using ...

Right now I'm in Australia. Funny thing nickn372 you were commenting on my spool gun post. This is where it has brought me. This seems to be the only option for my welder to run on CV


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if anyone has this module installed on there engine driven welder? My classis 300D only puts out CC. This will make it run on CV as well. Has anyone installed this? How easy was it? Does it run well? Anyone selling one?
Thanks guys.

I have another question on my welder. Classic 300D. It's not the welder that I need help but the volts it puts out. As I have recently moved to Australia I needed Aus outlets while out on site. I had an electrician instal an outlet on it. The max that say is 230v with a 10% fluctuation safe zone whi...

On my classic I don't have a cv or cc switch. I will show you some pics of the set up and maybe that will help.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Switched to v? Not quiet sure of what you mean with that. Everything else I'm going to give a try. Thanks for your help! Really appreciate the help

I'm running .035 wire, I tried many different voltages. Base material was 1/8" and I used a stainless steel brush to clean up very well. Gun is not brand new but seems to be in good condition. Also when I have the wire out of the nozzle and touch it to the alum it's starts the arc BUT I didn't ...

I'm pretty sure I had it on the right current. I tried different wfs and different temp and everything under the sun it seems like. I am going to use it again shortly and will take pictures.

Hey so I have a job to do on a excavator gripper. Basically it's got 4 fingers on one side and 4 on the other so it can grab things. Just like a thumb attachment on a bucket. Anyway the teeth are worn out and I am replacing them. I will be putting reinforcement on the back sides of them. The man get...

Aluminium foil works well BUT it was time to step it up a notch!
As to the neighbours, that seems to fit the picture just right ha

I have just added a new feature to my welding bed to help with the heat! And some pictures of the BBQ

I have a classic 300d that I run my control module and then off of that I have my sg spool gun. WELL I am wondering why it did not weld anything like I wanted to. Would burn back the wire all the way to tip and then would hit the metal and just ball and was absolutely crap. Would go up in temp and c...

Yes I do have a facebook page, that would be awesome!

Works great! And I definitely know I reinforced that! But it's great out on site.
