I'm SOOOO Excited!!

Its here!!! My new Hobart 125 EZ Welder! Just delivered today!
Went today and picked up a brass grounding clamp to make it work even better. Thanks Guys for the tip.









Mrs SOB got me these swell gloves...they actually fit!

Here is my 1st welds. Had to play around a bit after I set it up. Its been a couple of years since I've really done any welding...Glad to see I haven't totally lost it.

Here is also part of the reason for getting the welder. Go karts for the kids! 1st one is a 5hp with a live axel drive.



2nd one is a 8 hp with single wheel drive but I plan on having a keyslot machined into the axel to make it a live axel drive( both wheels drive).

The blue one is alittle short so I will be lengthening it, and adding a roll cage.



Have to fix a few things to.
And this is an example of some of the welds I have to fix!

Thanks
SOB
