    AC to DC stick welder conversion

    I was able to switch between AC and DC with my setup. My rectifier assembly had plugs and jacks so that you could either plug the rectifiers into the welder or plug your welding cables into the welder. I would be concerned with junction temperatures of the rectifier assembly you showed, but...

    AC to DC stick welder conversion

    That would be a simpler way to go. If you can get one for $20 it would probably even end up being cheaper.

    AC to DC stick welder conversion

    I did it many years ago to my Craftsman. I bought 4 stud mount diodes and mounted then on two roughly 2.5' x 2.5' sheets of copper. I noticed a difference. I haven't seen any of the videos showing how they are doing it these days.

    Oil & Fuel  A little motor oil in the tranny

    I am doing the 50 hour service on my BX2230. I accidentally topped off the transmission fluid with about 1/4 of a quart of synthetic engine oil instead of super UDT fluid. I plan on leaving the engine oil in there. Is there any reason that I should not?

When this happens the only way to be able to read all the messages in the thread is to change to...

    Mowing  Grease and mower vibration

    I have a BX2230 with a 54 inch mid-mount mower deck with 35 hours on it. It recently developed a vibration problem. It used to run much smoother than what it does now. I took the belt off the pullys and noticed that the left outer blade spins rough compared to the right outer blade. It makes...

    BX2230 3 point troubles

    When I raise the 3 point hitch from the lowest position to the top it will stop raising when it gets about 3/4 of the way up. The engine then bogs down and the hydraulic hoses at the joy stick stiffen. If I then release the 3 point control and then try to raise the 3 point again it will raise...
