That's a great question . If the truck is on a job and it starts raining than the welder is in the weather like happened last week . They are built for that . Whats more important is the truck gets parked in the shed when not in use . The weather / sun play hell on vehicles that sit out 100% of the time . One other thing we did was tuck the welder behind the cab instead of mounting it on top of the bedside . I think this helps keep road " salt spray " out of the machine during the wintertime . They also make some nice molded tarp covers for these machines .
I market Hobarts and Millers, and glad to do it. Gallup NM USA - also Milan NM - Durango CO - Cortez CO
While in the army during the 1960's i used PTO driven welders in Dodgepower Wagons. I believe the welders were Hobart. Not digital.
Thank you for your service ! The older I get the more I appreciate simple machines that got the job done and lasted forever .👍
Love my Hobart
I'm the same way as it's a simple machine that fires up every time and welds great !
Skip to 5:45, that’s where welder review begins.
Yup , I was a little long winded with the intro .
Maybe some of us aren’t impatient children and are fine with watching the rest of the video.👍🏼
@@randomschittz9461 Thanks and I'm pretty patient !
Who welds with bare hands,I’ve seen everything!
I was also bare handed when the wife got pregnant 😁... LOL and have a merry Christmas !👍
Does the machine stay out in the weather ? Any issues with it out in the open ?
