We can fix that guard together no problemo Mark Mate! Could be a good thing, reckon I’ve got some thin flat plate strips hiding in the shed that could assist

Thanks Mark. I’ll see if I can either, get the rims swapped, or see what shorter axles there are first.

Yeah just too much happening in life at the moment and trying to cram everything into my inadequate brain right now isn’t working. Work is crazy busy, extension going on and things we have to do on our part for the extension, helping out my elderly dad, two chainsaws need repair before the cutting season starts, plus the trailer, kids want/ needs stuff done also. Wish I could just click my fingers and have it all done.

Another thing that peeves me off.... welding upside down! Gawd! I run a few test welds to get the mig settings right. Do this, my welds are spot on, then climb under the trailer and I’m welding like I spaz! I gave up in the end and just accepted that this is how they are going to be. Spatter burns are great too.

Today has NOT been a good day.

Mark, you may have quite easily got the mig wire sheath on too tight a bend radius and it would not feed correctly - been there numerous times trying to squeeze under the car and get the gun aligned correctly, jump out, test weld again, all good, back under, cocky shit.

Quite possible mate. I probably should have pulled the old arc welder out in hindsight.

Yeah ther difference in welding where your nice and comfortable vs upside down contosionist with ya helmet wedged between an axle is quite substantial. . At least no one wil lie under there and criticise hopefully . . .

Trailers to heavy for little me to flip. I thought hard about how to flip it and it just too heavy.

Are you doing your test welds upside down? You will need different settings when welding upside down compared to horizontal down hand.

I did not know this, but it makes sense. Gravity will want to pull the molten metal away from where its supposed to go. Too late now...

up the voltage do it in short blobs . you need plenty of throttle! I hate overhead welding but always end up with a bit to do .

Bloody Optus. Always no signal when you need your bloody mobile to make and take calls at home....why do we have to pay for no service times?
