"I had to go run some errands. I bought a welder." Awesome. When I run errands to finish a project it's for 2 dollars worth of bolts or something similar.

I love how we all have to give disclaimers and apologize before we let people watch us try to weld LOL I feel your pain.

[@LSRWvlog]

We have to, the keyboard warriors always have their 2 cents to throw in haha

[@hydejarod]

everyone who has welded has had a first time this is the kind of stuff you can practice on and it doesn't matter that much if it works great if it breaks do it again. part of the problem is it is a flux core welder.

Greetings from Reno, Nevada. I appreciate the fast unboxing.

[@overlandtoshore]

Grinder and paint makes me the welder i aint. Just lay a thick bead in a circular motion. Should become a rhythm. On those mig welders, turning up wire speed helps sometimes. Take a little bit to learn. Good luck! Nice video.

Walking through my local Fleet Farm in summer 2021 they had a sign for an NOS Murray sleeve hitch $50, no box. It was back in their warehouse. I bought it and I’m saving it to adapt to one of my Toro 5xi tractors.

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

It was on a shelf for 20-25 years but all the paint looks fine like it was brand new.

Practice makes perfect ❤

[@LSRWvlog]

That would be awesome but I am near Austin

[@freakinowned]

Those brackets that you couldn’t get to line up you need to swap. The bent part in should stick out

[@POLOAZTECA]

Any updates on the final install?

[@jerrymartin4693]

You will learn but next time use a face shield when grinding it will save your eyes

[@MikeOrazzi]

Is it better to assemble the hitch on the tractor or put it together and then slip it on? My tractor is out of state, but the hitch just showed up in a box today.

[@LSRWvlog]

I put it together first and slipped it on

[@MikeOrazzi]

@@LSRWvlog Thanks. I didn't get a chance to open the box yet, but maybe today.

[@chriscornett3144]

Word of advice.. weld outside.. so you don’t burn the house down

[@nevadabadger7925]

Reverse your welder polarity.

[@LSRWvlog]

With this welder you cannot reverse the polarity, I need a little more heat and faster wire speed

[@60Oldfart]

you're wire speed is too slow.. speed it up a bit and adjust your amp higher..

[@khrisyeet8022]

The only thing that got me fired up was you spent $200 on something that you had to modify. $200 you should have zero issues.
