I was with John a few days ago working on our cars. We were at his rental garage tearing into our cars. The neighbor, a renter like John, knocked on the door and wanted to sell some tools off as he was closing his business. He had a Lincoln MIG welder he did not want, but was looking for a 110v wire feed. I happen to have just what he was looking for at home.

So I ended up trading my cheap'y wire feed and some cash for a Lincoln Pro-MIG 175. Came with a 3' tank, cart, and tons of tips and wire. Today I pulled a piece of 8/3 wire and installed a 220V plug in the front of the garage. Took me the better part of the day to finish while helping my son change his oil and stripping he Monte Carl.

Now I am a wanna be welder!!! Just in time to do my exhaust.

Congrats on the score, but I LOVE my Lincoln 110v welder.
