The problem with mig welders is there is such a wide variation in quality and that is directly related to how they work. I've got a $1500.00 Miller Vintage and it is nearly the perfect welder. I use it for everything accept cast iron and hardened steel, but with flux core you can even do the hardened stuff. There are many of the smaller size that you can carry around that run on either 120 or 220v. Of those I've tried Miller, Hobart, and Lincoln. Of those only the Lincoln worked well for me. The 120 volt ones will weld up to 1/8" well and do 3/16". The 220v will do up to 1/4 well. They do have a short duty cycle, but that won't be a problem for most farm work. I would not go with one that doesn't use gas tho, they are just as hard to use as stick and more expensive. A small 5# cylinder of 25/75 argon/co2 will last a long time for the amount of welding most farmers do, I would be surprised if you used more that 1 tank a year. One thing about mig is it's MUCH easier to do. Most people learn it quickly and never look back.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
