Actually the true purpose is to keep small rodents from going under the truck :). I couldn't weld that bad if I wanted to LOL

Probably works good for snagging the plastic bags lying in the road. Eco weld.

It looks like a rodent welded it.

Looking at the photo again I wonder if some of that wire came through from the opposite side, extended through burn holes before his arc began. ???

I hope he didn't buy his welder to build a trailer.

What? That made me laugh. Wire welding without heat - somewhat common in the beginning. We could call it pulse or spark welding. Saving on cost of electricity. That is truly "wire welding.

I’m trying to understand what the purpose of the weld is? Looks like a skid plate that’s already bolted on to me.
