I welded this weekend using the Millermatic 175, with gas. We have a chinesium gazebo frame that collapsed under snow, bent it all, kinked one spar nearly in half, and popped three welds. I figured it was less work to fix it than to buy another and install it, so I just hit it with the welder.

IIRC, I blocked off at least half of the radiator in the W115s in the winter. I found that a cereal box opened up was the right size. On Mon, Nov 30, 2020 at 9:17 AM Jim Cathey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > a Geo Metro in Canada, a buddy of mine had one and the temp gauge would
