    What size generator to run stick welder?

    From previous experience, don't remember size of welder or generator (probably undersized) but I do remember having to shut off the auto idle feature in order for it to work.

    Little bit o' log splitter welding...

    I'm sure there's more knowledgeable folks but from my limited experiences welding pin holes in water tanks and tubes they had to be empty, dry, prepped, (usually involved completely grinding out the old weld) and wiped/ cleaned with some type of solvent to stop leaks. Good luck

    Voltage converter

    I don't think what you want to do is feasible or possible and expect to weld with it. Probably need a 30 minimum- 50 preferred amp breaker to run 220 from your box which will take up two slots. If your out of slots to run a new circuit you can hire someone to install a sub panel and circuit...

    My projects - farm repairs and minor fabrication

    Another pretty crude fab welding project on my other used and abused relic. Quick easy bracket to mount rear remote hydraulic multiplier. I can reach the lever to change circuit in operator station so it's like having two rear remotes for a fraction of cost. Works well.

    My projects - farm repairs and minor fabrication

    Quick easy three point implement stand made this for my 6' back blade, it's crude but works well and keeps pins for tractor off ground and always stays on blade. Notice I have hydraulic top link, when planning location of stand made sure it didn't interfere with full extension and retraction...

    Vintage Marquette Welder For Sale

    I've seen older lol. Leads still look good if it works and was looking for a inexpensive welder I'd buy it over a HF one. Ac current only I presume? Any idea how much it weighs, length of leads, and if you ever hit the duty cycle?
