Do you build these yourself?
Do you guys weld these things up yourselves?
I have been looking to get a small welder, something that runs on 120V if possible. I know someone will say "get the 240V and you'll never look back", but I don't plan to weld myself a new truck (or the trailer that I need), I just want to be able to do something like add teeth to a bucket if I want to...

Yep I went to a metal shop with John's plans and had them cut out all the parts and drill the holes then came home and welded it up.
A buddy of mine back in about 1960 made a welder out of a transformer from a drive in theater movie projector. It made the spark between the carbon rods for the light on the projector. 110 volts.
We had 2 M Farmall's with 3 disk plows. We put what they called back in them days a power pack in the engine. Bigger sleeves pistons etc.
So we made the plow beam longer so we could add a 4 disk to each plow. We welded the extension onto the beam with that welder. It was very slow and we did a lot of chiping slag. They both held up till the farm equipt was all sold. That beam must have been 3 or 4 inches or so square. The welder is what get's it done not so much the welding machine. I sure would like to see those 2 M's one behind the other dad in front and me behind making a pretty wide cut. He would be 104 this year and I'm 66. Time fly's.

Yep! But the scoop was mounted when I welded them on so it was less trouble. That was the second set I tried. The others were flat made from old lawnmower blades. Then if I was scooping saw dust from a cement floor which must be about all it was made for it would do better with them on top. When I get the bypass block on and a cylinder to give it lots more stroke it will be fine. Then it will lift more and I can add weight to make it dig in. But I have discovered a poor man has poor ways. You know Wrengers had one for $350 one time. That was a bargan. Wish I had bought it.
