    A project using HF's MIG-180, with the capacitor mods

    Here's a project using HF's MIG-180, that has the capacitor mods described here in this HF forum long ago.

    I posted this over on TractorByNet's sub-forum. I think the photos are visible without a subscription there - please tell me if this isn't the case.

    This sort of minor farm project, as well as repairs, is what I have welders for.


    Modified a tractor implement to match the QuickHitch

    Always good to be able to remove the impediments to getting stuff done!

    Perhaps it is way of protecting the IP of the other forum but all the pictures are out of focus and they can't be zoomed without an account.

    I still get the gist though.

    You're right. I logged out and that made the photos fuzzy. I should create the same post here.

    Anyhow - I like my modified HF welder. This is the first time I've had to run it beyond specs but it did fine. Its almost like a pro welder. Almost.
