Just curious -- has anyone had any electrical/electronic problems after arc welding on a tracor?
My uncle used to do some pretty serious welding on his sickle bar mower while it was attached to the tractor. He never had any trouble -- but then, the weld was a long way from the chassis and the tractor was a 1950's model so the electrical stuff was pretty robust.
With today's electronics operating on milliamps rather than amps, I would be very leery of arc welding on, say, a car without doing all I could to isolate at least the engine control computer. The welder provides some pretty serious current, and it's conceivable that 100 mA or so could sneak off somewhere and do some damage.
