Very nice! I keep trying to convince the wife to let me get 220 wired up in my basement garage. Dad has a 80's vintage century arc welder and a 80 gallon upright compressor he'd let me have.

Thanks Jeff this is definitely new to me. I have welded with acetylene and stick so this should prove interesting.

You're gonna love that welder, Steve. I've got a Handler 140 I've had about 6 yrs or so, use it every week. If you can stick weld, you'll be all over this.

Good to hear...Just need to get a handle on the heat settings and how much gas to run other than that I don't see any issues.

Steve,
The chart on the spool door cover will get you near enough to make minute adjustments and you'll be welding in no time. It takes into account thickness of metal, wire speed, heat setting and type of gas mix. It's pretty accurate.

Bought a "Q" size argon bottle ( about 3' tall ) for the TIG welder.

The empty bottle was $268 and I purchased it thru work at their discount.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
