If the rods came in a metal can, that you had to grind the seam in order to get them out, they are most likely Lincoln rods. If they had a fairly thin flux coating, they were probably 6011. If it was a little thicker, maybe 7018. You should try some 7018AC. It sounds like you've done enough welding in the past and are just a little rusty. Vertical welds should be done uphand for the most strength. Only 6011 would give a decent downhand weld but it wouldn't be built up too much and would need more passes. Covering a 6011 with 7018AC uphand would give a very deep penetrating and stong weld. 7018AC in a 3/32 size isn't too hard to weave uphand. When doing any welding always use 2 hands when ever possible. It gives you a lot more control than the 1 hand crash and burn method. I know what you mean about not trusting it to somebody else. That's why they say if you want it done right... do it yourself. I try to do most of my own repairs but for critical stuff like rebuilding an entire engine, I'll let an expert do it. That way I get warrantee if something was done wrong. I had lots of warrantee used on my Cat engine but they fixed it. I think they cringe everytime I go in there. Show us some pictures of your completed welds. Dave
