Welding advice ?
Expert advice needed!
A friend of mine needs a bolt welded onto his tire carrier. Naturally it's mounted on the tail gate & swings out to open the cargo area. I heard that by connecting the negative ground to the vehicle & welding on the vehicle (tire rack) one can damage the computer on the vehicle? I'm reluctant to do this simple task until a get a positive yes or no. Can the computer of the vehicle be damaged? NIK, Thanks.

I work in a collision shop so i weld on cars daily and thats mostly a bunch of bs. The power will go straight from the torch to the ground so unless you put the ground on the other end of the car you'll be fine.

I've heard of it happening. Just disconnect the battery to the vehicle first to avoid any worry.

I've urban legend I've heard plenty of times is that even with the battery disconnected the computer can be damaged. I never actually seen it happen and call BS to the entire notion. The power is going to take the shortest path to ground which is not going to be through the computer. Disconnect the battery and weld away.

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.
