I went out on a limb today and bought a Harbor Freight 90 amp wire feed welder.

I had a coupon and the final price was 89 bucks so what the heck. At that price I just have to try it. I knew before hand this IS NOT a mig welder its a wire feed welder. It has no shielding gas it uses flux wire. It has two power setting low and high with a duty cycle of 10% @ 80 amps and 18% @ 60 amps.
Assembly and set up was easy. I didn't need the directions. Now for the good part. It actually works and not to bad.

I've been rebuilding my 1650 Cub Cadet and I needed to weld a few parts. On the High setting I welded 1/4” bar stock to the ¼” engine cradle with no problems. Then on the Low setting I welded tubing for my exhaust stack and it worked just as good. I even welded the joints from inside the tubing just to see what would happen and had no problems.

It comes with a 90 day replacement warranty and you can purchase an additional 2 year replacement if you chose. They also have replacement tips and some parts in house.

I didn't start this post for everyone to bash China Town Tools or my decision where to spend my money. I just posted to let you know my experience with the welder. I come from a welding background and I know what quality is.
I've also had good luck with Harbor Freights motorcycle lift. My old Cub Cadet is heavy.

If you decide to try it I hope you have as much luck as I have. It paid for itself on just one job.
