Recommendation on 240V Welder
Finally getting garage sorted out - have already wired for 240V welder.
Would appreciate recommendations re manufacturer, etc for wire (MIG) welder ... usual automotive welding tasks, but want to be able to do things like welding new edges on front end loaders. Don't need high end, but do high quality and would prefer to stay with Made in USA. Thanks!

.030 is a good general purpose wire that will even do trailer hitches with extra work. When in doubt Ive had good luck asking any of the more knowledgeable guys at the supply house.
MIG welders are sensitive to dirty tips so make sure you keep yours clean.
