A lot of "plastic" fenders on tractors have a fiberglass or some other fiber component to them. Very rarely are they a plastic that could be welded back together. I was working for New holland when they introduced Plastic fuel tanks on their Genesis tractors and some of them were getting holes...

Line conditioners smooth out the THD but they can cost as much as the generator. See my post above. This is the best way to do it.

There are line conditioners, but a big one costs as much as a generator. It's not really practical. See my post above.

As a follow up, name brand doesn't buy you clean power automatically in a generator. The Northern tool Powerhorse generators are far cheaper, but meet the 5% THD requirement.

Call me tomorrow. We are in the process of reworking our tech support department. So there are things that are being transferred into new tech guys hands...so the transition is a bit choppy right now with new tech guys coming in. 650-866-0063.

It doesn't have to be visible. It messes with the control circuit and transformer. What you are describing is typical of that kind of problem. That's why I went out on a limb and mentioned it. Generac, if you call them, should have an idea what THD that model puts out.

Unless it is a X series Generac unit, it is NOT clean...and likely the source of the damage. It can be immediate if it is dirty enough or cumulative if it is off the specs we provide, but not at 25% THD like some.

What generator was it? If it was over 5% THD, it could burn up the boards (not clean power). We do have a warning in the manuals and on the website about it. It could also not be enough power? I think you need about 9000 watts. When you shut down, was it always disconnected? Floating...

Usually, when this happens, it's an issue with not having serviced it lately. A lot of times you can open it up, remove the connectors, blow them out and replug them and things will start working again. We recommend that those units that are used frequently be cleaned out every 3 to 4 months...

Check out without choosing it. It's a Christmas/Holiday special created for a short period of time. No way to rewrite the whole site for a few day special. Just ignore it, take a screen shot of the page to prove it just in case.

hmmm. last image wouldn't load

If you want to "buy" one...Everlast has a new one coming out and has an existing one. The old one has a tilting table. The new one is adjustable height and is a pack and go type.

I bought mine just like it at Airgas. But that was years ago. Also I buy stuff from Amazon more and more, and a few things from Ebay much cheaper. Look for the Strong Hand alternative. It's generally about as well built and cheaper.

Cost versus benefit. We don't mind sponsoring things, but we do a wider swath of sponsorship now than ever before. We do have to take into account what benefit it is for the company as well. Forums are fading somewhat in favor of social media giants and "clubs" or interest pages. Not saying...

Here or create your own thread on it. You can go to our facebook page "Everlast Welders" or the "Owners of Everlast welders" page as well.

Select 2T on the trigger tab. Make sure you select the "std." torch.

Are you running it in 4T mode?

Just got back from the International Work Boat Show in New Orleans. Couldn't spend any green except for tipping...and even once that was only available by some "app".

No tax outside of AZ and CA. A CC is preferred. We can do pay pal. Or a bank transfer. We do take checks, but the check must clear before it is shipped. If you appear in person, cash is not out of the question. lol.

Black Friday Bundle Packages are up! https://www.everlastgenerators.com/catalog-bundle

The ethylene glycol is what we recommend. We do have those type torches available. The 20 series is the one I recommend. On top of that I recommend the Rotaflex 20 which gives a 360 degree rotation of the head. Much longer lived than a standard flex head torch. The PowerCool350 is the...

Well we are giving the biggest companies serious competition. I guess it depends upon what you define as other companies giving us serious competition because very few can truly compete with us in development and quality and range of product, and experience. We've been out there now for 20...

Yes, but it will be different. They'll be some incentives/kits but prices probably won't be a lot lower than they are now. A little on some models, but some are already 1000 dollars off .

Probably about a good of welding solution as his hand held shield.

I feel for you on those woodland mills. I've had some experience setting them up and even working with them. My father evaluated them when they first came out. Horrible compared to most others he has sold. He sent them back. Terrrible fit up, loose stuff and never cut really true....soft...

Manual is still on the site btw. https://www.everlastgenerators.com/sites/everlastgenerators/files/downloads/PowerArc%20Series%20140ST%20160%20200.pdf

The manual does mention and show it. Cheesy? Have you compared other manuals that don't give you that much information from the major manufacturers? I doubt it. lol. PA 160 has to be 10 or 12 years old now. Just hooking it up the first time?

Yes, sorry. I've been working gardens on the weekends and late evenings. But BukitCase is correct. But that is the Canadian site, not the USA one if that is of concern. In case you weren't aware, you can simply reuse the old connectors. They use a set screw to hold the cable in.

It has a shelf for foot pedals, etc. It also has a consumable box with shelf.

Everlast has a new one coming in under NOVA welding supplies. It'll fit a wide range of welders. Maximum welder length will be 25" though it is adjustable. It has heavy duty front locking wheels and over sized rear wheels for easier rolling.

Well I know Prime weld's former service advisor. I repeat "former" is a purposeful wording. He left for some clear reasons. I'll leave it at that. But I think long term sustainability is the question Prime weld has yet to answer as an upstart. They've promised a lot they didn't deliver on in...

Everlast, and every other welder company isn't Costco. That is not an industry accepted practice in this industry. Nor is a sustainable one.

The mts 211si is one of our older models. It's good but basic. Yes it has dc tig with hf start. But it's not for aluminum. The 212 is a bit more up to date and welds equally as well. As for which I'd go for, for me it actually get the storm 215c. You get a pretty decent little plasma cutter...

Yes, but it's a lot more of a welder than the 200es. It's a better MIG overall, and it also has way more power. The 200es is just 180A @ 25% duty cycle. The 212 is 200A at 35% duty cycle and a max output of 230A. It's actually on sale now at 999.00 shipped.

We are out for a few more days. More are coming shortly. However, we do have plenty of 212's in stock.

You can add it yourself. It's just a piece of cable. It's held in by set screws on the machine end.

Well, that's a very old post. This unit hasn't been around since 2012. Closest one is the Cyclone 200ES now. https://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/mig/cyclone-200es?gclid=CjwKCAiAmJGgBhAZEiwA1JZolpiBZny_ez0R1NGJWY4abaasSSpbCk_0toAW7TCwe77MjhXXBpNqbxoCwgwQAvD_BwE

This is one of their WTL/Chinese lines. I had to look it up to be sure as they are migrating some of their products to India manufacturing. As far as that goes, you may be interested in one of our Cyclone 200ES units. Or our Cyclone 212. Longer warranty and more features in general...

If you can get some formal instruction, you'll never regret it and can save you months and even years of struggle. Plus you get to take advantage of welding with not "extra" cost to you.

Definite date isn't set. Our hopes were February, but due to the Covid rise over in China, and the new year holiday which unavoidably split and delayed an important testing of a certain feature I'm leaning toward the more comfortable April time frame myself. We've slowed down our approval...

Weldpro is the same company that does Eastwood, PrimeWeld and a couple of others. I think they are trying to masquerade as a US company but is controlled and owned out of China fully iirc.

On ours? No. 449 to 589.00 very reasonable. Stainless pump and sealed industrial motor with copper core heat exchanger.

Everyone has the right to throw money away they don't need. lol.

Yes several years ago. The Lightning 275 and 225 have replaced it long ago.

Here is a picture of the unit and what is included.

You'd be looking at the PowerMTS 211si. That (our) unit has foot pedal capability (foot pedal included) as well as High Frequency DC start (TIG kit included as well). Plus it has built in gas solenoid for TIG. Currently, no it does not have the LCD. Nor is it scheduled for anything upgrade...

70S3 is not worth welding with to begin with. It's a budget wire and has little to no deoxidizers. It welds badly unless the metal is 100% clean and mill scale and rust free. Recycle it, because if it has rust, it won't be worth tearing up your liner to try to weld with it.

Well, you guys missed the biggest sale we've had in years. But still many products are on a rotating weekly sale.

Sale still on. Free shipping until it goes off on most units.

Ya'll if you want units and welder packages whatever, give ME a call. I don't get credit for it otherwise.

We do have a Cyber-Monday sale going on now. While supplies last. Give me a call for packaged pricing.

The hatchet offers the best cut capacity and price. The 52i offers a bit more duty cycle ,60%, at max output vs. 35% of the hatchet. But at 50A, duty cycle is the same for both. The 60 is much simpler in operation.

That hasn't happened since. And amazon now has higher prices

I'll be there with my daughter. But nothing in an official capacity. Wish we were. I think it'd show the company how well we can do at shows like that.

Come see us a fabtech in Atlanta in November. Save the date.

Well, the Power i MIG 230i was the best equivalent to the previous Ironman 230. But it had way more duty cycle with 50% @ 230A. The new, replacement for the 230i will be the Cyclone 262, due out in a couple months. It's been on the drawing board for a couple years, and should have come out...

Inverters don't have to be expensive to repair. The reason that inverters from other manufacturers are expensive is the "planned obsolescence" aspect. It's not that expensive to make a main board, but they price it so that the cost of repair and part is 2/3 to 3/4 the cost of a new unit, which...

Note how far back it goes? 2010. That's 12 year. Those products and website have been updated since. And a new site is on the way again and hopefully will be in place by the end of the year. This is the third revision of our website since then. But here is our link to all that. Our product...

Our factory is NOT a collective. You are living in the 60's on old information. China, with regards to their operations is very capitalistic. Their politics are not. I'm not a union guy either. And if you'd kindly stop highjacking this thread, it would be appreciated.

I see your understanding is way out of date. Because workers get paid less than the converted dollar doesn't mean its slave labor, especially if their wages pay for them to buy what they want and need and support their families. I talk regularly with the factory personnel. They have nicer...

Would this would be a better place to manufacture in?

What slave labor? I think you aren't up on the times.

Here is a thread on our forum started by one of the main guys who does travel and work over there. It's a few years ago now that he started it, but it gives you an idea of some things. Things have been remodeled and upgraded a good bit along the way. Some pictures from Factory - Page 6

I don't go. But our travel guy has an apartment, and stays in hotels when traveling in away from the factory. We have a full fledged, well appointed office in the factory, and it's not just a cubby hole. The factory takes care of the eating. The owner's wife owns an upscale restaurant where...

An inverter can do anything the transformer can do, and usually at a better duty cycle. The Power i MIG 315 is the same equivalent power class. The 252 is max rated at 300A. The 315 is max rated at 315 A. The 252 is rated at about 25% duty cycle at 300A. The Power i MIG 315 is rated at 35%...

When it is a major indicator of inflation, of course not. lol. What it also doesn't show is that scrap prices are extremely low. When demand is strong for steel, scrap goes up. It has not. New steel prices typically mirror the changes in scrap prices. All you've done is help confirm my...

Protectionism (and it's brother isolationism) is the cause of war. But you slight me when you think I am biased because of who I currently work with. No. I've farmed a very large portion of my life, and farmed commodities as well for part of that time. Most of the time I farmed vegetables...

Protectionism has never ended well for the USA, historically...and for good reason. And the nearly quadrupled prices in steel ought to give you a clue as to what happens exactly, even though input costs were not justifying the increase, or the demand either.

Out source components has shown it's weakness in the last couple years. This has led from everything to 8 month delays at Hypertherm, Miller and others and empty dealer lots all over the country. But Everlast has managed to keep decent inventories. We wouldn't have experienced much if any...

No issues with manufacturing, or at least we've not had delays like some of the other major companies who lean on China for their parts. The biggest issue we've had is in the good ole USA at the port.

Most likely it is because they don't know how to properly set one, when given a chance. It's like when you give people democracy suddenly who formerly lived under communism. So many cry for the old days because they didn't like having so many options.

The newer tombstone switches and fans give issues. I've seen several fail.

No, that's about right for a transformer for 90A rating. And that is an "average" rating they give, not a max breaker rating for inrush. A transfomer capable of welding 140A at max output will trip a 30A breaker. Hobart's own data shows it's only a 9% duty cycle at 140A. That's less than 1...

Were you welding with .023" wire? It's hard to do. The Hobart 140 is really only about a 90A welder. The 140 is more theoretical. Duty cycle is usually around 20% @ 90A. With .023" wire, you are hard pressed to reach 90A.

There's a big difference in the Titanium and the Everlast. Starting with warranty. And ending with design and quality of internals.

Tig is used a lot in stainless and in steel, depending on what you are doing. Excellent for body repair on thin sheets on cars. You might just want to look at the Cyclone 140E or 200E if MIG is all you need. https://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/mig/cyclone-140e

Yes there is. It's a new unit called the PowerMTS 141Si. But it has HF start capability and a foot pedal option. More advanced and better warranty. Built-in gas solenoid for TIG. Even Separate gas inlets for mig and tig. In stock. Give me a call...

Save money and look at the PowerArc 200STi. It'll still fit well within your budget of Amps. It'll give more power and outperform the Hobart and will have a 5 year parts and labor ( free shipping to and from repair facility if needed for 3 years).

It'll be available soon. But its funny you mention that, because when companies like Hypertherm have had 8 month waits from their overseas and domestic suppliers and even sent letters out to dealers to tell them they were sending their own employees into these other plants to help run lines...

Stay tuned for the new "Hatchet 60" release. Compact, powerful and will cut the legs out from under a Primeweld 60.

There is a significant chance of fire with this table. Be careful. Personally, I'd have found inexpensive scrap iron rather than the expense of that large dimensional lumber to make the table out of. Not trying to rain on a parade, but I have seen wood welding tables catch fire.

Turn up the voltage a volt, assuming you have that much control on your machine. Some MIG machines are very basic and just have rough settings. Don't weave. Yes they look better now, but you are covering your mistakes of welding too cold and trying to put more heat into the metal by slowing...

I work directly for Everlast. I'm no distributor. I've been on this site, supporting this site as an Everlast Rep for quite some time now. I'm no flash in the pan. My prices are as good as the website, if not better, especially on accessories. And I give personal service.

For gas? No. It is ready as is. It comes with everything you need to weld with gas. You will need the 20.00 flux core drive roll though with that unit. If you order through me, I can fix you up with it all. With the stick, no nothing is needed besides electrodes. The machine is 120/240V. It...

If you still have your options open and want a superior performing machine, you might want to look at the Everlast Power i-MIG 200. It has MIG and stick capabilities, weighs much less, has higher duty cycle, more features and is on sale for about 720.00. Duty cycle is 35% at 200A versus the...

All processes produce xray quality welds, including stick. It's no harder or easier than any other process. It takes skill and understanding of what is going on to do it with any process.

Any welding process should be able to weld what you listed. For stick, just use a small rod like 5/64 or 3/32. Use something like a 7014. Or for MIG, just use something like .030" wire. TIG can do it, but that's an investment a lot of people don't want to make.

Any weld from any of the processes, when done properly will hold and work as good as the other by and large. MIG is more than a "glue gun" Level of skill to master all these may not be 100% equal, but I can tell you stick takes as much practice as anything to master. TIG is easy by comparison...

We don't recommend storage that low. Minimum recommended temp is 14F. They are light enough to pick up and store elsewhere. Shouldn't be an issue with taking in due to its weight and size.

Simple answer? Made in China. Complex answer? We design the units on this side of the pond. In fact I designed the interface for the plasmas and spec'd it myself. More Complex answer? Everyone is building their products in China or other countries outright or building subcomponents and...

Early tractors could run on gasoline (leaded heavily), tractor fuel ( a cheaper special blend of fuel oil no longer available), Kerosene (similar to tractor fuel), and in a very few cases diesel. In most cases of the tractors I have run, they were all cranked on gas, warmed up and then switched...

You wouldn't use that ever on an Inverter machine which most new ones are. Always a point and never pure tungsten. Yours if fine for old school tech, but not on anything in the last 15 years or so that has been introduced, maybe 20.

What would we do with another company's trade in? No value to us.

It's terrible, and as I recall the effort required to adjust them is far to hard. We just limped along with the 3 and an older victor journeyman conventional unit. My personal ones are Smith.

Two stage are uncommon and outrageously expensive. There's really no need unless you are a hard core pro that you'd really ever need them. If you have a two stage regulator, they are exceptionally good, but most these days are not. It's not a problem per se, but you deal with the hand you got...

I mean look at how small this is. And this is about twice as large as it is in real life. The original were worse.

No, there may not be 100% parts availability. But most of them are direct copies of older, reliable units. When I was teaching, we got 5 new sets of the Edge regulators with Journeyman class torches. By the end of the semester, 2 sets failed outright. The rest were hard to read and ticklish...

The edge regulators I used were junk. I think you have about as much luck with a HF regulator or some copy type.

Lol. Canadian Thanksgiving is on a different day I guess. Maybe check for a Boxer day sale?

No. We are the manufacturer, not a dealership. We have a different structure than Miller or Lincoln where they use dealers. Nothing we could do with a trade in. However, if it is one of our machines, we do offer a 6 month trade up policy if the machine isn't what you need. Or you could list...

Nerves are growing back. Or could be a sign of diabetes too...especially if slow healing.

A proper sized bottle of helium is more than a 100 bucks. You need a lot of flow rate with Helium. One guy priced a bottle of helium and was going to use DC. He was quoted 500.00. He bought a new AC DC machine because someone misled him about DC. He figured after a couple of bottles of...

Sorry guys. Out for the weekend to visit my parents. Been a couple of years since this covid mess. Anytime anyone needs to check on a delivery or didn't get a receipt, call the 877 number down below and just dial 202 or 210 to check. Sometimes, the email gets an extra dash or space when it is...

No, with Amazon, the prices are usually higher (and are now) and you pay taxes. Unless you live in Cali, I can save you taxes. I can combine shipping costs as well and offer better discounts on accessories in general. Our 15, 24, and 25 MIG guns, the TWECO tips interchange with 11 series or...

Even if I don't get credit for the sale...I'm still here to help any customer.

Let me know when you get it and I can help you set it up.

It will with the right size drive roll. A smaller gun will be helpful, but it definitely WILL work with the machine itself.

I also typically use tension right around 3.5 .

Neither. If you look at page 17 of your manual, it gives you the drive roll size equivalents and explains it here: https://www.everlastgenerators.com/sites/everlastgenerators/files/downloads/28a199059840cb20c238e12127d601aa.pdf Your unit is equipped with .035" and .045" drive V groove drive...

Unless you use the H version, yes. With the H version, it is about 230A approx. standard is 200A roughly.

We have an adapter you can buy if that is needed. Just call ext 206. But it derates the gun.

I've not seen a post on any "Everlast Forum" that I can think of. Not sure where you posted. But I am responding here. Miller is not Everlast. Hobart/Miller are the same company. We use .08 and .06mm thread tips. Depending on the gun you have (they have had three different guns, all Binzel...

Y Yes, I do. But I don't sit glued to my screen 24/7. I have a life to live. lol.

A lot of you have called or emailed me about Black Friday and whether or not we at Everlast would have one. Yes, we have decided to have a good-old fashioned black Friday sale. Enjoy up to 20-25% off list price of many of our most popular products. Not every single item will be a huge...

It's that time of year! The annual black friday sale will happen Starting Friday until... You'll see discounts of 20 to 25% on most products from original list price. If you want to know which ones, wait till Friday as we are still working on the models and the exact amounts. Of course as...

Here's one of our own videos, with a little better detail and description imho.

Here is a video that weld.com did for an evaluation. Please note, I do not recommend using TIG on this unit. At best it is scratch start and will require a TIG rig. That means no amp control or gas solenoid built in for it. And with arc force control in stick (which is the mode you'd have to...

Ha. Heard that before...a week later, I'm making a sale. "I never thought it would give up, but I spoke too soon. Do you know how much they wanted to fix mine?" lol. You have to understand this happens quite frequently. A good number of my sales are to former transformer owners whose gave it...

FWIW, on our welders use muffin fans, which will work if you match specs. Easy to find, cheap to buy. Same thing with the old Montgomery ward AC stick welder. You still need to match specs if you want the same duty cycle.

You assume that because it is "technological" or has electronics, it is both unserviceable, and prone to damage. Just as with anything it is related to design. You also assume it is costly to repair. Our board that takes 10 minutes to replace will likely cost you less than what a switch (if...

Incidently, an inverter welder does have a transformer in it, but it is much smaller and easier to maintain and replace.

I bet if you opened them up, you'd see degradation of the core. These are often exposed to humidity, and corrosive environments (like the smoke from welding) with little protection of the iron used and very little maintenance (if any). I've never said to ditch your old piece of crap welder...

Actually only a very small percent. Transformer insulations begins to break down after a few years, and the fields are destroyed and they basically short out. Years ago it was economical to rebuild them, and many of them were. People forget about this. But in todays market it is not at all...

"just a transformer/rectifier" machine hasn't been built in a welder like a MIG or TIG if 40 years. After that they all have circuit control boards...From the 80's forward. It's going to depend upon the capability of the repairer and design of the unit as to what it costs and what can be...

Unfortunately, your synchro will turn into a major brick as soon as something happens. The circuit boards in the unit are prohibitively expensive to replace out of warranty, and those machines are discontinued. Miller seems to be obsoleting their products much faster than before and/or raising...

They aren't typically touch screen. But actually, a simple LCD screen is very easy and simple to do. The displays are modular and easily replaced. All functions are monitored and controlled elsewhere. I mean, think, though of the intense use and handling a phone gets. It will last. Usually...

They gain more customers by copying our trade dress and even parts out of our manual. I've caught them stealing art work etc. They've been sued and settled on this a couple times in recent history. That speaks for itself. They gain a whole different class of customers this way, that well, we...

The LCD screen is pretty tough and reliable...I can understand but hey, unless you drop your phone and crack your glass, how many screens wear out? The screen is very similar to that although a bit lower resolution...iirc 480. And it's not even touch screen.

Yes it comes with a nema 6-50 50a plug which is (and has been for I guess for 50years nearly) the standard for all 240v welders in the u.s.a. the size of the cable on the unit does not dictate the wire size you need on supply conductors though. It is dual voltage. But sized properly based off...

Because of the nec and article 630 and its specific recommendations for welders which diverge from standard codes, and conflicts with local interpretations of it and even misunderstandings of it, along with complications from your home/ shop owners insurance provider if there is ever an issue...

It always does. But it is on the website already. I1max and i1eff current.

The standard plug for all 240v welders in the usa: nema 6-50. It includes a 120v adapter pig tail.

As long as it stays at 208 and doesn't drop below 205. Usually 208 in good areas reads 211V or so.

It's definitely more advanced synergic than the older 251si design.

We had a slow down in shipments a few months back, but everything has been in stock fairly consistently for a while now. We've learned to compensate our shipping schedule. But one container? No it was many different ones.lol. It's still slow and backed up but that was quite a few containers ago...

50.00 right now

Inrush is right at 30A. I'd recommend a 40A since it is a tad over at maximum. But any good slow trip 30A would work. But that is betweeen you and your electrician and code official.

No. Just cutting. For serious gouging you need 80 amps or more and high duty cycle. Our stand alone units do it, but because they are higher duty cycle...and they still are for light gouging 60A and under. The 80 and 100A units would be best for this.

The Storm 215C that is. But for those of you who follow us, you've probably already gotten "wind" of it. (pun intended). For those of you that don't or haven't checked Facebook or other social sites yet...It's a new product we have that includes MIG, Stick and Plasma. It's another industry...

It's one of our most solid units. Very popular. Hard to keep in stock. Maybe everyone's using theirs and don't have time to post because of the money they are making? lol. Dunno otherwise.

I haven't gotten any notice to my email from tbn. Send me an email at performance@everlastwelders.com

That's a lot of spatter for a pulse MIG. You might want to work on adjusting it out. It shouldn't do that. There should be nearly 0.

Our inventories are coming slowly back up. As some of you may know, demand has increased drastically above our normal expected growth, and Covid has slowed down things (but not stopped it!) on production and delivery. So we've been basically turning units back out the door as soon as they...

You wouldn't get that out of Miller either. We have a 30 day satisfaction warranty where they don't....and you are fooling yourself if you don't think failures happen right after customers get them from Miller too. They do. I had a new customer with a nearly new unit last week from Miller that...

Just wanted to wish all our customers and friends a Happy Fourth of July. We all have our histories and backgrounds if we live in the USA that are so widely diverse...but there are few things that unite us like the celebration of the idea of freedom and independence. But I think the fact that...

I know that the internet isn't the best way to meet people, but Carl was a great guy not only for his helpfulness every where he was on the internet, but for his service to our infrastructure of this country.

A few of you in the past with smaller operations have asked me if we would ever release a PowerPlasma that operated on 120V only. And most of you asked me to let you know if we ever got one. Too many to count now. But this is the best I can do: We have a 120V only plasma cutter now!. We've...

I'm about to replace mine.

No, not really. It is a side thing and an easy thing to cough up some extra cash. Here, you can sell them as homemade trailers, and customers can go and get their own license plate for it with an assigned VIN from the state. I live on a major road through our town, and have about 250- 275 feet...

No. I walk in. But first I shop around on the phone...and compare and not shy about telling them I think it is too high, if it is too high. I figure out what I need and figure out how much waste I have and what I can use it for for other projects, or if it is worth it to build two. People...

Not really. I live in a rural area far from big volume. If most people look around, they will find. I've had a number of people who think they don't have a local welding or steel supply near them. I go online and find 6 or 7 just a few miles away.

I'd disagree with that. I've built a number of them. Usually I can build them for half the price or less. Of course, I buy parts from the source rather than the retail like Tractor Supply or someplace like that. I get new tires on rims for like 50 to 75. Fender sets (double axles) are like...

I'm thankful for the report. A good deed done checking up on him. I have a few people I need to go see, but Covid is getting in the way.

A few have called me and asked about the Black Friday deals. Yes, we will have them on limited models. But I'll post more about that tomorrow afternoon.

As shown, you pick and choose what you wanted to show. And as someone well qualified posted, Miller has had it's own issues with that. And you are posting a 10 year old unit. I can post pictures of bad stuff we found in the latest Miller product as well. Missing clamps etc. I even have a...

Everyone, I usually post stuff over in the thread. But I think this will be of interest to many of the medium and larger farmers because of the inquiries I have gotten about such a unit. Anyway, we've released a new welder, perfect for the larger farm, and who knows, maybe a smaller one or...

He needs to get back on here, to keep some of us straight.

I haven't heard from him in a while either. I don't think I have a direct contact number for him anymore.

Having trouble with photo uploads

I've worked on or fixed about 4 trailers this summer...current one is in my yard. I wish I had taken pictures of all the ones. I start the 4th one tomorrow. I've fixed two landscaping cargo trailers with bad doors, and one car hauler that had a rotted out backend. I replaced everything from...

Carl, Few professions require so much from your body. There are some. I don't know any older roofers with good knees. Most older welders end up with bad backs or crippling arthritis. But most still enjoy what they do and wouldn't trade it for anything. Hope you get on the mend and feel...

Well guys. A bit off topic for this forum, but since a lot of you guys are in contact with the great outdoors, and especially while welding, you become almost unaware of your surroundings I just wanted to post this here to hopefully help keep some of you from going what I've been going through...

Guys and ladies, I've worked it out where I can offer our TBN members the best discount yet on all PowerARC 140ST's, PowerARC 160STH's and PowerARC 200ST's through the first of the year. Pictures are below of the main unit. Every unit includes a stick electrode holder and work clamp. The...

A lot of people have trouble deciding between a MIG and stick...as if it is an either or choice. I get calls all the time with people trying to decide beween the two. One of the least discussed things about our 240V MIG welders is that they can weld both MIG and Stick weld. Both our 200, and...

We had a number of stick only PowerArc 160's at a barn burner price. We need to clear these. k0ua has had one for a number of years. If you need a reference on these, see some of his posts about it. These units are built like the old PowerARC 200's and have a E6010 capability, which the...

]I've been wanting to get another angle grinder. I have a couple of them, but my mainstay 10 amp Dewalt is wearing a little thin on power and is noisy. And I need a recip saw since I have a few upcoming projects. A local guy peddles surplus merchandise. He was advertising on the local FB...

Ladies, Gentlemen: The summer has been hot and dry throughout much of the country. We've opened our cans of worms when we wanted to go fishing and found them stinking! Weather like that makes normally well meaning people say and do things they normally wouldn't be doing...like sitting indoors...

Your gain, their loss. This time it is plasma cutters. It shows older picture, but by this time, it should be this years product. Not 100% certain, but still a great deal. PowerPlasma 70 seems to be a little higher from other reports. Can't beat it. Everlast PowerPlasma 80 IGBT Plasma...

Heh. Made you look. Given the hub bub about 120V capabilities, and the fact that several of you guys have asked me about our inverter 140's I figured this would get your attention. The new 120V Power iMIG 140Es are in. I know I have talked to several of you and you asked me to let you know...

Shield Arc reminded me of a mistake on pricing on Amazon that is to the customers benefit but their loss as it costs them way more than this for a Power ARC 300. You have to see it for yourselves. Keep in mind this is not Everlast, but Amazon's stock. Of course we will warranty and repair the...

Guys, I'd normally post this in the Everlast thread, but several people have asked me about when we'd have one in the US and wanted me to follow up where it will be better noticed. If it's not a good place, then the mods can move it over I am sure. I try to be sensitive about putting up...

Helping my father to get set up for the yearly Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, Ga, yesterday, the booth next to us was Farm Trac. Of course they played it up nicely saying they never went out of business only in the US etc...Appears to be run and imported out of Missouri. At least that's where...

We've made a modest redesign on the PA 300 with a few internal changes, but mostly cosmetic. It's dual phase 220V, and has hot start and arc force control. As you can see, it still has the separate 6010 port. It's 60% duty cycle at 300 amps. I have an older PA 300, and love it. We are...

We recently completed a trailer build project. It's a multi part series and follows a trailer build I did for a customer. It's one out of many trailers I have built for different applications. Hope you enjoy...or learn something. Part 7 will be up later this week.

We've been getting a lot of interest (and sales) on the new versions of the MTS units. Jody is doing several installments of the Everlast MTS 250S versus the Fabricator 252i. Here is his video, part 1...more to follow in this thread over the next few days/weeks.

Went out and bought a Northern Tool table. Did a review. Here's the result.

Before all the New Years, celebration gets wound tight, I thought I'd go ahead and post this. But on a personal note guys, (and ladies), thanks for the appreciation and support that most of you have given us for being supporters of this section. On behalf of everyone at Everlast, I'd like to...

We've just received a large shipment of 2012 units and are moving them out as fast as we can for the 2013 units that are on their way soon. We have 20% specials off to TBN members on PowerArc 200's and 300's. 10% off PA 140ST's. Specials on all plasma cutters...up to 25 percent...discount...

The second part of the video that some of you have been waiting on is up now. Anything any one has in the way of questions or clarifications, I'd be glad to give it my best shot. everlastgenerator's Channel - YouTube

Some of you guys have asked me about information on the PowerArc 140 ST. While the video is not Miller or Lincoln or Thermal Arc level of pro production, it does offer answers to many of the questions you have. Part two will come soon in the next few days to deal with the welding ability or...

I've been testing out the new unit this afternoon side by side with the older 3 port units. I know many of you were concerned, and possibly holding off buying one until we get a handle on what kind of performance to expect. I plowed into it today pretty good. I ran 7018, and 6010 5P. All I...

We are proud to OFFICIALLY release the new PowerTig 185 MICRO. We have been working on this unit for over a year and now it is finally here. This is a completely new unit, and competes well with the Miller Diversion series and other basic AC/DC TIG welders. No other imported welder comes close...

Well, We are taking orders and offering a surprise Thanksgiving day/Black Friday sale of 15%. Just got the approval to offer it here. This sale includes everything but PowerTig 250 EX, 225LX, PowerPro 256. But everything else is fair game! But just to let everyone know, we do appreciate, and...

Several of you have asked me about what's coming up for next year. Most of our new line is set to appear the the Atlanta FabTech show Nov. 2, so if you are in the area, come by during Nov 2-4, and you may even be able to see one weld. We have a few new changes to the older product in store as...

A friend of mine has just opened up a cargo trailer customization shop. My town is in one of the hearts of manufacturing for pull behind trailers, with companies being based from here like Pace (now owned by the bank), HaulMark (now closed), Frontier, Covered Wagon, Hurricane, Kingdom and...

No, Parts are still widely available. I just did a complete in frame rebuild last year with new cylinders, pistons, rings, bearings etc. No Problem. It takes a little work, but their are many guys importing parts for these things now. When I have time, I have a 250AS awaiting a complete go...

Hello Members of TractorByNet, I'd like to introduce Everlast Welders as a proud sponsor of this welding forum. A lot of people may not be familiar with us. As a U.S. company that manufactures and distributes professional quality inverter welders and plasma cutters, our products are made to...
