summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

16th Engineers & 2/37 DAT's
Oh how out of nowhere does a welding question bring back memories! I was with 1-36AIR in Friedberg and had an old Hobart PortaFeed 17 ran off of a Perkins diesel for all my aluminum repair. Had it down well enough to weld overhead on 113 bottoms when they would crack. Geissen was my second home for the Engineer's repair work. Funny how word travels when an aluminum job goes right. Every unit within 50 miles wants you to fix their deadlines. I've used helium with my Dynasty on thicker stuff but not with any mig work. Good info for any future applications though.
