What welding rod are you using for this project. I followed your original thread on the planning and I will be following this build. It is slowly coming together.
I have saved a bunch of links for tools, parts and material suppliers. That is a plus for me.
I'm using 1/8" 6011 rod. I'm running it on DC+ at about 90 amps.
Per the PM request of a few other members, I'm attaching a .zip file with two partial sketches of the backhoe plan. I've redrawn various parts of the backhoe multiple times as acquired materials or got new ideas about the plan. As a result I don't have any single sketch that covers the whole plan. These two that are attached will give a good idea, though.
