I bagged my truck with the same welder. Just have to take your time with it. The 220w 180 is better though. If I had the money I would have got a miller matic though.

I use the lincoln 135 and it does the job With gas. I have used the miller 210 and love it. When i upgrade it will be a miller...big one The lincoln you can find on sale priced right. I use a certain plug in my shop 30 amp with 30 amp wire to my power panel (very short) and NO extention cord and works just fine. If i did it again i would go with the 220 one thow. I got it at home depot on sale!

Ive got a lincoln 135 just like dirtracer14, I love it.. I went to a local welding shop and it was used for 1 semester at a local college of technology.. I got it with a cart, full bottle of gas, nozzle, wire, ready to weld for only $475.. Not a bad deal if you ask me,, maybe you can find a similar deal...

Heres the welder new on ebay/ no cart no bottle for 200 bucks more...
