Thank you! I don't know much either but I think they turned out pretty good. 220v really makes a difference.Looks great and nice welds BTW not that I know much anyhow.

I know, I'm borrowing the 220v right now and when I have to give it back, I'll be shopping the MVP210Yes my first mig welding was with a 120V welder and they were CRAP. I'd never go back now that I've seen what a proper welder can do. I'm still learning but it is a huge difference. I stepped up from a Lincoln 135 to a MP210 and that is even a noticeable difference.
Sometimes wished I'd gone even bigger.
"Have to..."? Ever heard the term "Shared Custody"?I know, I'm borrowing the 220v right now and when I have to give it back, I'll be shopping the MVP210

I looked in to this extensively a few years back, I already had my mig, but was buying a tig and looked at a bunch of combo machines. At that time (from what I found) the ac/dc tig/mig combos were really not great at either, but only "ok" at both (at least for any that didn't require a second mortgage). I ended up buying a 160amp 120/220 ac/dc tig/plasma combo and have been really happy with it, I am now considering selling my beast of a mig and getting something smaller with dual voltage. I love my mig, but its getting hard to justify the floor space any more (and the wife and I are trying to buy a house, and by the looks of what we can afford around here now, I gotta do some editing)I wish now that I had bought just a bigger mig welder and a separate A/C-D/C Tig welder or gotten a combo welder that did A/C-D/C tig & mig. Just something to think about if you're shopping. I didn't think I'd want the A/C tig but after watching some guys doing aluminum tig welding I now wish I'd gotten a machine that did both.
So reassembling the 44, I just bolted the axle shaft back in and I have about 1/16th of play in/out. Is this normal? Or do my bearings need to be replaced?

No I didn'tDid you replace the bearings?
No I didn't
I was kinda thinking the same thing. I was hoping I wouldn't have to.Well, I’m not saying it’s bad but really….if I’m in there and bearings are easy to replace, I do it.
For peace of mind. Just makes it easier to do now when it’s apart…then do it again in a short time frame.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. I was hoping I wouldn't have to.
I just actually measured it and it's only 1/32 of movement, but it still moves.
They aren't that easy but if I have to replace them, I have to do it.
My next question, will a 12 ton shop press be able to press the new bearings on?
