My new old welder! Finally have 220 power. I plan on finding a Dana 44 to put in the rear and now I can weld the perches and shock mounts!
Got a box of 1/8" 7018 AC. Also wanna run some 6011 too.

If ur burning it up and feel you must turn the amperage down, be careful with your arc length. You wanna keep a very short arc length when you weld. When you let it get too long, it gets crazy and burns up your base metal. Another thing that can help is clamp your ground in a position that you are going to weld away from it (opposite direction). This seems to help control magnetic arc deflection which can make a crappy looking bead.
