. Has anyone arc welded using 308 SS rods? I have some Blue Demon 308 I got from McMaster-Carr and have a very hard time getting the bead to look nice. It doesn't seem to wet out the base metal very well. And yes, I have tried turning up the heat. It ends up being lumpy and porous looking...

. I'm starting to think about replacing the T12 fixtures in my unheated garage. In the winter, only one or two light up. One or two barely glow, and the rest do nothing (except maybe cost me money!). It occasionally gets below 0 (F) here but single digits are common enough at night. Mostly...

. Gentlemen, Does anyone have pictures of a B6100 with a backhoe and a ROPS? Also, could you tell me how high the ROPS is? The dealer can order one but has no pics of it. I would like to know what it looks like and especially how high it is bef I order one. .

. Found this on a motorcycle site: The April/May edition of Machinist's Workshop did a test of penetrating oils where they measured the force required to loosen rusty test devices. Buy the issue if you want to see how they did the test. The results reported were interesting. The lower the...
