Got a welder too!
Here's our old welder we had too. Looks pretty rough. It's a century 5-star ac/dc 250 amp . Have some cleaning up to do and see what's wrong with it. Got my fingers crossed! I got our old battery charger last year and the fan wouldn't turn. It had mud dobbers nests in it. Some kroil and wd-40 got the fan running like new.

5 pages long thread about that welder here:
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/w...tar-ac-dc.html If you get it for next to nothing and can fix it for cheaper then dirt It may worth having fun with it! They are good machine for their time with good duty cycle but compare to a small inverter tig /stick unit of today they are big heavy dinosaur so don't spend all your weekly beer change to fix it.

Some interesting reading there, thank you! Dad bought the welder from local AG COOP back in the 80"s. He used it some but was never very good at it. He took some night classes on welding. I'm self taught, then learned lots more in AG welding in high school. I've done some mig welding just not a lot . I've used it a couple times since I brought it home. It needs some work, fan doesn't work. Have our old century battery charger fan didn't work half the time on it . Took back off cleaned it, put some wd40 on the fan motor and it works now! Guess she was a little dry.

Brian,
I tend to go for that older stuff also.. it's usually built better than anything made today.. We have an old Sears arc welder that we never could burn up.. Dad built a bunch of log splitters with it back in the 70's and 80's. It still works but we don't use it much anymore.. I got a Miller wire welder in the mid 90's that has taken over duties. Still handy to have an arc welder around for the HD welding though.. A 3/16 7018 rod with the heat turned up will burn through rust and paint that a wire machine will just laugh at. Tig stick and mig all have their place and all require different levels of skill.. but the mig is probably the most versatile and the easiest to master.

I used lots of 6011 welding, versatile rod. We did have some nickel rod, now that was some hard stuff! We used some cutting rod too, didn't have a torch. A friend of my dad sold stuff for crontron back in the day. I prefer the older equipment, better built like you said! Like our Cubs! Have an old classic upright air compressor from my dad too. 80 gal bought from orscehlens in the late80's. I brought it home a few months ago. Hadn't been used for 17 years! Works fine! Love using it to take the blades off the mower deck

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.
