LAC welders

[George Harris]

I recently purchased a Miller - Millermatic 175 230V MIG welder with 
gas. When I think of all the time I wasted trying to learn how to weld 
with a stick D**n!

My first project was a trailer and a tow hitch for my '87 5ktq. Haven't 
had a weld break or any problems learning how to weld with the MIG. 
Penetration with the MIG isn't a problem because you can grind out a V 
and then fill in the V with multiple passes. Can't do this with a stick 
without a lot of chipping and cleaning. I'm not a pro, but with my hitch 
and a dolly I've towed a complete Jaguar XJ6 (3500+ lbs) from Kentucky 
to Ontario Can., and regularly haul 3000+ lbs of wood from the woodlot 
with my 5ktq. I know it is abuse, but it's all I got :-(

Good luck
George
