Sounds like another successful project done with a 110v welder!

Thanks...and yes..it is exactly the 3rd thing I have fixed with my $100.00 welder...first was my Son's rake...about a $20 rake he was going to throw away....then my Bush Hog..two rips on the top of the deck...fixed and tested...probably would have cost $200 for a welding shop to fix...and now this mower deck...probably $75 ? from a welding shop...So I'm a happy newbie welder....my welds are not pretty ...not near what some of you guys show with your stack of dimes look but so far they are holding and it has save me $$$$

LOL - Mo....I'll tell you I got the term Welderer from watching Chuckier2009 welding videos on You Tube...He's a good kid and he would say he weldered something and call his welder a welderer...so I was just trying to be cute...He is a member of TBN ...He''s a funny guy...;)

Newbie question - how does the Century 135 110v welder compare to the Lincoln and Clarke 110v welders discussed in this thread? (Assuming flux core in all cases).

I have a welderer buddy that used to have one of those clark welder's. He claimed it was the best mig welder he has ever owned. He used it for exhaust work. He has owned Miller, Lincoln and currently has a Esab and he said that old clark would out weld all of them. Not sure if the newer models are as good as his old machine was.

S.A. , Please tell me You did not Buy that Welder ?? I would of sent you my SP135+ model already with a 10# spool of .035 in it to play with for free , ( as long as you would send it back when done playing :) ) . Heck , From Southern Orygun to Washington would not be that much in shipping .

The old Clarke USA went bankrupt, they used to make some good equipment. The new Clarke is an import company, so your mileage will vary...

Shield Arc hasn't posted a thing for a week, I sure hope he is OK.

Mine is an old Clarke Welder...but I don't think anymore Clarke welders are being sold...Instead the company that bought their assets have copied the Clarke welder and are selling it under a new name....so I can still get replacement parts....

Here is a post from a user on the Amazon Clarke Welder site I pasted below...." By D. smith on April 25, 2012
just to let everyone know the clarkes are the same as forney welders so the parts interchange no worry forney is still alive and well over 70 years. example.....clarke 130en is exactly the same as a forney 130fi "

Clarke WE6523 130EN 120-Volt Fluxcore/MIG Welder - Mig Welding Equipment - Amazon.com

So Forney...a company in business for over 70 yrs. has all the parts....
