I've been a welding instructor for about 25 years now, and Tom, I can tell you for certain that straight argon is not capable of making any sort of GMAW weld outside of aluminum, which is why it was welding so horribly.

That tool suited for Thor is called a wood splitting maul. I used to associate "maul" with the damage done by beasts, but it derives from the Latin malleus (hammer). At the Battle of Agincourt, mauls were used by longbowmen to hammer tent stakes, but the pointed end plus the heavy weight made them a great improvised weapon. I first learned about this tool in a catalog; interesting to see one pop up in an offroad recovery video!

Versions of it are used extensively in industry. You just need to have plenty of time using it before you start making good use of it.

Flux core or stick welding is solid. Sure, it will splatter more and you have slag, but out in the wind I’d rather have a well working flux core than a gas mig.

[@pauliusaleliunas2841]

Welding outside is different. Safest bet is Stick. Second option would be flux core. If you look around on ANY kind of construction that is done outside you will still see stick welding. Flux core was designed to make welding outside easier because it is harder to learn stick and the people who know ho to weld stick cost more :) So... no gas shield welding outside because of the wind. At least that is how it is thought by the book.

[@tammyobremski9235]

Karnage Welder can handle all that no gas

[@joerad4722]

Im not a welder or able to do even a fraction of what you guys do, but the blurred welds have me rolling... haha

[@possiblemarten]

I'm sure the other comments cover it too, but straight argon wont work how you want for regular wire-feed welding. Straight CO2 will, or the typical C25 blends of course, but the issues you were having were related to gas more likely than power. But now I'll watch the rest to see if you already figured it out haha

[@loosemoose9799]

Tom, you have learned the low gasoline scenario from Matt very well. It is great to keep the company tradition alive.

[@davidwoermansr]

He had plenty of gasoline just no welder gas

[@beb38138]

Dear Tom tom, after having fought a battle with an 83 suburban fuel gauge, replacing the fuel sending unit etc..I learned that on the back of your fuel gauge, is a ceramic resistor that goes across 2 of the three studs. It should read about 90 ohms when bench tested off of the gauge. If it's an open circuit it will cause weird fuel level readings. Hope this helps 👌

[@Chris_the_Muso]

Yep, gasless fluxcore is the duck's guts for trail repairs. The tensile strength is actually higher than mild steel with gas. You just have to run it electrode negative and drag it like stick. Your Miller box should run it just fine (find the knurled wire feed rollers you should have got with it.).

[@mugmiso]

we run that 200 Suitcase with flux core, it does a great job!

[@davidwoermansr]

I weld the same with flux core as I do regular wire and never had a problem

[@Chris_the_Muso]

@@davidwoermansr you have to push with gas because the penetration is lower, pushing helps with that. You have to pull with fluxcore otherwise you will get root inclusions, same as with stick. Unless you’ve done test pieces for coded certification you might not know. There’s also dozens of different flux core wires with very different types of flux.

[@davidwoermansr]

@@Chris_the_Muso I've been certified since 1990 in the early 00s I was underwater certified (till an auto accident made it so I can't get dive certified then I let that go) I don't weld any different with flux core than regular and never had any problems with penetration and never had a weld failure yet I've had the steel rip an inch from the weld on a heavily overloaded pickup bed trailer (dumped 6.5 tons of scrap steel out at the iron yard) we loaded it on my miniexcavator trailer used the loader to flip it upside down behind my trailer then back on strapped it down took it home and welded a patch over the broken spot

Tom, If you want a good trail welding rig, check out some of the battery ran spool guns. Back when I was checking on doing the "Merlin style" welding with a vehicle alternator or premier power welder. I got to see and try a Ready Welder before a deployment. When I got home I ordered mine. I built a heck of a trailer frame similar to what you just trail fixed. Running it with Optima batteries, I've had it for over 20 years now still going. It's a beast running 35 flux wire, with 36 v you can use it to cut or burn in over 1/4 metal. I bought a second one for a spare and aluminum welding.
