I also have a Lincoln 135. it has been an excellent welder, fantastic with sheet metal. but, I wanted just a little more power so I got the 211.

I have a Clarke 130 EN...I think i saw someone else with one on the first page. It works pretty well and I use it all the time. Cranked up and going slow it will undercut 1/4" plate

I have a Craftman Mig, which is a Century. I use flux core wire.

And this gets used less these days because the little Mig is so handy, but for over 1/4" or on metal I don't feel like wire wheeling too clean it can't be beat.

Damm all these welders give me the worst craving to burn some more rod in a few weeks when my Welding class starts up again. overhead welding here I come.

Welding a leaf spring? I hope it wasn't going back on the bus.

ive also got a lincoln generator arc welder with a kohler 10hp on it. ive seen it run, i just need to tune it up and get some good cables.

Heres my setup..a Hobart Beta Mig 1800 of unknown age, I bought it used from my old boss at the restoration shop, he said it was only a couple of years old at the time (3 years ago) but I don't know for sure. My first welder is a Hobart 135xl my Dad bought probably 11 or 12 years ago, still works great, I use for for just sheetmetal now, but I have made some hitches with it in the past and they held up awesome.

Heres mine Miller Auto Arc 175 circa 1995

What size tank do you guys recommend for MIG welding? I finally got a MIG on the way, I've been using a flux-core welder for the past couple years. My welding consists of just little projects, such as bumpers, welding on mufflers, etc. etc. I'm going to be buying my tank outright so I was wondering what you all thought.

Essentially, I want to know how many bumpers I could make with a 40CF tank. Or would you recommend just going with a bigger 80CF tank? Thanks everyone
