This Saturday my factory trac bar mount ripped off the frame of my Jeep.
Fred (flatout) had some arc welding electrodes so he let us have a few and he helped us in joining two batteries to weld the mount back on.
The electrodes were giving us some trouble because 1) we did not have enough voltage and two, we couldnt get the electrode to create a good contact (spark). We also did not have a welding hat which makes welding practically impossible.
When I returned home I started my reserach. Onboard welders are way to expensive.
So I came across this site and I plan to practice this welding method at home in my parking complex until I have a good feel on it.
I share with you this website.
Thanks Fred for letting us use your electrodes and next time hopefully I can return the helping hand to anyone that is in need of a weld on the trail.
