Many thanks one and all for the informative information, had I used my head to start with I wouldn't have wasted you guys time w/ your replies. I went to my local electrial supply house a bought 10 feet of 10/3 stranded wire ( $4.68 ). Removed the back panel of my "crackerbox" and removed the originial power cord, snipped the terminal ends off, stripped the wire on the old power cord and the new wire. Twisted the wires together, soldered all the connections, put new termanial ends on the new wire, connected back to the welder, put the back panel back on and I'm back in business. With the addition of the new wire on the power cord and my welding leads I can go out to 60 feet which is more than enough for any welding I want to do. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Thanks again for all the great info.
