  1. Well, I took your advice and dug down to 4'. Poured a footing with rebar and filled the post with cement. Next day, I set the post and filled the hole and a 24"x6" square pad, to finish it. All in, 800 pounds of cement. For the type things I will be doing, it should be fine. Thanks again, Ron
  2. Thanks for responding! What if I added to the post, another two feet. I have some more stock to make it. I thought about digging deeper and pouring a footing, then setting my post on that and poring around it. I don't have any larger rectangle tubing, so this will have to do.
  3. I'm mounting my 6 inch iron city and would like some ideas. I made the post out of 2 pieces of 3/8ths 4x6 angle and a 1 inch plate. going to fill the tube with cement and then cement in the ground. Should be @ 32 inches in the ground. Is this enough in the ground or should I do something else to it. The cement will come up to the bottom of the leg. Thanks Guys, Ron
  4. Thanks for the replys, I didn't know if something was wrong with it, cracked, etc. Used it today alittle, feels good to own one.
  5. Hello to everybody, Yea I'm a noob with a new to me Peter Wright. 146 pounds, looks good to me. I've got some questions for you all. It's sitting for now on one of my welding tables and if I hit it in the middle, it just sounds dead, flat , no ring. If I hit it out by the Hardy Hole, it rings real loud. Also the hammer will bounce very high when hit in the middle. I'm not really hitting it very hard, just wanted to test the ring, that I was reading about. Does this all sound about right for a Peter Wright. Thank You for your time, Ron
  6. Thanks Alfonso, so I should look for one that has been around for a while! I e-mailed Lincoln, but never got a reply. I guess they didn't want to emit, they cheapened up their welder. Scrapdaddy
  7. Hello, can anybody tell me about what year Lincoln stopped using copper wire in their " tombstone" stick welders. Mine was stolen and would like to replace with same. Thanks Scrapdaddy
