I ended up getting the Eastwood MIG 135 from the guy on craigslist, brand new in box never opened for $290. Comes with the regulator with gauges and everything. I seriously considered the hobart 140, almost went for it until I found the Eastwood. Figured I'll have enough for gas afterwards! Another awesome thing is that the amperage/voltage speed is infinitely controllable. Not a high-low deal or a 4-step deal. Very nice.

Here she is, freshly unboxed.



And now I'm broke for two weeks..lol

 

I'm jealous, good find.

 

Looks like exact same machine Lincoln makes. Either way. It look like u got a good machine. Treat it right and it ll take care of u. And think about it. U can do side jobs for extra cash to spend on the jeep

 

Good idea! LOL, I have to get good at it first though

 

Nice find OP! That has plenty of juice to do auto-body work.
