Zip ties and duct tape love the name and thanks for the video great job

can you run lincoln innershield flux

How does it work if motors backwards

Thanks for recording all of this on this truck man. It’s really helping me

My dads sat in the rain multiple times she always still worked 😂

Got one on sale for $89 and ur right as long as you clean up your metal and set wire speed right it dose the job. It’s not for commercial use but man you doing sum thick s**t and it’s solid.👍🏻

Thank you sir I've changed a lot on my 95 suburban

good vid, zipties, duck tape, and jb weld...international space station is loaded up with the Redkneck engineering tools. duck tape got Apollo 13 asses back to the shop.

Can you run something like this on an extension chord ????

I love mine also, it's a dam good welder, use spatter spray and the beads wont stick. I got the 50.00 welding cart, I don't need the tank area so I moved the shelf all the way to the back, giving me more storage in front, also I lowered the center shelf 3" and put my stick welder on that. Also added more hangers for cords.

Chicken Crows

Just bought one thanks for the tip

Just got mine April 1st /of 2024 and its the 14th of the same month and this welder is my new toy and i LOVE it..... my goal is to start doing exhaust systems ....my first job was on my own Ford 460 R.V. exhaust and ya know what ...with this welder just from looking at my first job and how it turned out...I think im go do pretty good in this game.

do you think it would hold 3\8 to 3\4 ? thought about trying it but had my doubts.

Why u stop making content

i have a candidate for that!

I got one justice that it keeps cutting off

Thankyou for the video. I wanted something cheap first time welding. Chicago 125 welder .Right now I'm trying 2 lb. Before I buy a 10 lb pool. What wire do you recommend thank you.

Any advice for someone with a ranch king 46? Im looking at putting a bigger predator on it but i dont know where to start

what wire speed do you usually use ? it can be a little tricky to figure out sometimes.

Is that a 10 pound roll of welding wire in your welder? If so, did you have any trouble feeding that wire through your welder without causing birdnest issues? Also, did you need a adapter to run that 10 pound roll of wire on your welder, or did you just use standard parts that came with that welder?

Will my little Honda 4000 watt generated run the welder ?

Until the pushrod drops

You're a better welder than I am

I got mine for $99 about 13 years ago at Harbor Freight and for what it is , it has been pretty helpful.

Did you have a grommet fall out?

you don't have to calibrate it?

10 pounds lol..dude this black box welder saved my ass so many times lol.When it blows up Ill get the green one :)

Can it wheelie

I'm curious if the Borax and pH of 9 or higher is still working out for you to control rust? My concern doing that is that a pH of 9 or higher can adversely affect the corrosion control for non-ferrous metals (didn't know how much aluminum, brass, bronze, etc was near where this water would splash and possible corrode. Wasn't sure if you had considered using Sodium Nitrite powder instead (nitrite, not nitrate). It can be harder to get and is more expensive. In the video you mention amounts to use, to make a 5 gallon amount. Do you then add that to the other 10 gallons of water, or is that your recipe PER 5 gallons? Also, I would recommend adding a little bit of an algaecide/fungicide/bactericide/virucide to the water. pH of 9 will help, but you can still grow stuff in that water. Thanks for this video, it answered much of what I was wondering about building my own drainage, filtering, anti-corrosive, anti-fungal, storage, and pumping solution for my Crossfire Pro. Have a great day!

I need to replace one soon. Do I need to worry about the pushrod? Our will it start in place when I remove the old one pump? Thanks

So how did the I beams hold up afterwards? Everything all good?

If it creates slag, always drag it. Pushing the flux core foreward can cause slag to be trapped in the welds that cam compromise the structural integrity

Good tutorial video. Nice looking welds too. I picked up one of these Chicago welders and hope to start getting projects finished this summer. Love Harbor Freight! On a side note, that's not wind messing with your sound. That's the energy/sound frequency coming off the welder and the work area interfering with the mic. I also run in to this phenomenon when filming mini bikes drag racing. The mic works just fine when the mini bikes are staged but once they launch and head down the track...there's something about the frequency that a small 196 to 224 CC engine operates at that sends feedback out and it interfere's with microphones. You can also see the waves the frequency causes when you look at a mini bike like a Coleman BT200x or CT100U idling with no one sitting on it. Parts of the bike look like it's undulating. It's kind of freaky to see.

Great video!! mine is bogging down and a buddy told me to replace the TPS...I'm not mechanically inclined but this looks like a simple enough job that even i could do it. Thanks for taking to the time to make the video and I did subscribe to your page

What size drain and dimple die did you use?

You don't have to calibrate the TPS? I have to do that on my Honda's 🤔

Your parts arnt cheap... there economy

Yes, thank you! Please do keep making more videos!

hey im learning to weld bought this same welder myself, so far i really like it for the money, what size wire you use. i have .035 but have seen people say .030 is better.

Thanks for the video, help me in going to get one. I subscribed and will check out more of your content.

Good work. Much appreciated.

Nice video but on those 6.0 gas engines i will definitely use the OEM thermostat instead of aftermarket

I love mine too #63583 👍 I've had it a few years now and it's great! Do need at least a 20amp dedicated outlet for long welds. Used it on standard 15amp for short runs without tripping the panel breaker if the welds are short. It's tackled everything I've thrown at it from thick to thin and even welding cast iron block bearings to mild steel. It's sweet spot is definitely 1/8" on high at 5-6 speed. It burns hot! I've punched through the end of my weld once or twice. Penetration is great! Beveled edges on the steel do help if you're a perfectionist. Only takes a few seconds longer when you're already cutting and grinding. If the steel is super cold! Blowtorch the spot where you're starting at for a few ~20 seconds. Makes the start of your weld as pretty as the end. It will do 3/8 no problem and probably thicker. And the thin gauge stuff like exhaust welding. You just have to play around with it and dial it in just right. Patience! Then you're good to go! The settings are simple and there's actually a ton of flexibility with that without making it complicated. Your technique is one of the biggest settings! All the haters are just pissed because they paid a ton more when this unit can do a very decent weld! They don't want to admit it! Yeah sure it might be a little more messy with the splatter but so what! That cleans up easy enough. I find that INE wire to be really clean on an AC buzz box like this. Almost as clean as a DC welder. AC welding has been around forever! Nothing wrong with that. I think that Lincoln wire is good too! But that Italian ine-tube stuff (whatever it's called) melts like butter with almost no splatter! I do recommend upgrading the ground clamp and replacing the factory nozzle for a flux welder type sleeve for the gun. Helps getting into small corners and just seeing better what you're doing in general. Thought about doing a DC conversion with a bridge rectifier. But I really see no reason to the way it is. Good wire, good ground clamp is all you really need. And ditch the pointless gas nozzle and get a auto darkening helmet.

Those are awesome welders I have one built a A frame with it and other stuff. Good video

im on my 3rd one of these. i gave the first one to a friend. gave the second to another friend. now i need a welder and it happens that harbor freight is having a 3 day sale where it is back to $99 so i bought another one. i wont be giving this one away. I'm no longer fiends with the first person and the second friend moved to Georgia and died last year. that's why i had to buy another welder in case anyone was wondering why i just don't borrow one of them.

awesome!!!

You didnt show us how you put it on ashole

I was told flux core was dirty, you can't use it for auto body, you get what you pay for.... blah, blah, blah... ALL BULLSHIT. I'm currently restoring my 78 Pontiac Firebird formula. 90% of the welding I've done on the body, was done with a Chicago Electric 125 flux core welder.Of course, I did all the modifications to make it a true DCEN welder, but my point is this, this welder is great. The quality of the welding is on you. If you're willing to do the prep, take the time to do the research on technique, and do alittle clean up, this welder is fine. I love mine, and I'll keep it long after my mig and gas bottle are gone...good video...

I’ll say does well ! Are you welding 1/4 inch ? Settings looks maxed out ?
