I think I understand. The fellows on WW said the meter would run backwards with this transformer machine at idle. I'll confirm when I can. Thanks

I'm soooo ready for warm weather.......got to replace the #8 to my panel with the #6 that is resting on my bench in basement. (#8 is now a dedicated 50 amp to the welder but could be quickly switched back in an emergency.) Got to learn how to weld, plant a big garden, remember my name, etc...

Ray, What we got in snow melted via rain overnight. I'm on the Chesapeake Bay. West of here and north to DC they have 12-14" and it is still falling. I've bought some 6011, 6013 and 7018. Weather hasn't allowed me to do any practice. My welding space is outdoors with only a shed roof...

It has the power factor capacitor option installed. One fellow on welding web said with the PFC option, all he has ever used is a 40 amp. I know I'll never need its heavy capacity but want it on the right breaker for peace of mind. The welding shop next to my store has the same unit and has...

Wired it in today on a 40 amp breaker and my wife will pick up a 50 amp tomorrow. Sounded fine on idle and I'll fire it up tomorrow on the 40 amp. First time I've ever struck an arc so I don't expect much but the videos will help, I hope. Jerry:D

Doghead, It appears to have been set to 230. It has a 50 amp 230 plug on it. Thanks. Jerry

I don't understand why I can't upload multiple files at one time. Used to be able to do up to 10. Makes it one at a time now unless I'm doing something wrong. Jerry

Picked it up in Suffolk this morning (70 miles away). This thing is a horse! With cart and cables an easy 450 lbs. VDOT had it loose on a pallet and loaded it with a forklift. I just strapped it down through the lift eye and had no issues coming home. Once here, used the Kubota forks and...

We all have priorities! :beer:

This came off a site called GOVDEALS which auctions off a lot of state surplus items. Probably has items near you Ray. Here is a listing of sites within 200 miles of your Zip code...

That is quite a machine!

Won this unit on a VA Dpt of Trans auction this week. Came from one of the stations they closed out when they went to contract ops. From the looks of it, seems to be in great condition. Hopefully can pick up next week and begin learning to weld. With auction premium and sales tax it was...
