Default Welder?
I am NEW to welding, looking for a welder for under $300! What is the best all around welder for repairing things like TRUNNION REPAIR on tractor or patching a hole in muffler and other small projects?

Just my 2 cents but I'd look on c-list in the tools section. Try to get something that is setup for gas. Not sure your going to find a good unit for $300 but who knows.

A 120volt welder with a gas kit should be good for anything Cub related. I have an older Snap-On 120volt 110amp MIG welder that I've used for all of my Cub projects except for the few things I've TIG welded. You should be able to get a good deal on a used one. To get a quality new welder you'll easily spend $500 or more.

buy the best you can afford. if it means saving for a while to get a good brand name than do it. i have a miller 175 i paid $750.00 6 years ago that gets used almost everyday.

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.
