    Hobart Welder Quality?

    Gimp is right a 220v welder will do more. If you are just doing lighter stuff then a 110v unit is fine. Miller and Hobart are the same company. They used to be seperate. I think the most important is to get a mig that uses gas shielded wire or flux core. It should have the ability to hook an...

    Hi everyone from Wisconsin

    Welcome to SS. I think its best to buy from a private owner first. You may even be able to find a SS member locally who will go and check it out with you. Its real easy to make a bad decision when you are alone. Good luck

    "Flipping the hubs"

    Here is a bench pic of the hubs. Basically you unbolt the hub from the drum, drive out the wheel studs from the hub and put them in the other way. Flip the hub, then bolt it back down. Messy but not to hard.

    What would you do for a Deuce

    No guts no glory. One jump is a small price to pay for a deuce. The big question is.... What will you have to do to get your second deuce. Good luck and remember to bend your knees. :grd:

    going to bob my deuce

    We put 2 plates on each side bolted through the frames 1/3 of the way back and 2/3 of the way back. Plus there are 8 bolts on each side holding the frames together. I think its a little bit of overkill but I would rather be safe than sorry. The notch isnt as deep as it looks in the picture. The...

    I prefer the 105 frame. This is a pic of how we do ours (the angle iron is just for aligning the sections)

    Permanent residents buying from GL

    The things purchased from GL that use a EUC cannot be exported from the U.S.

    going to bob my deuce

    Your moving right along. Are you using the M105 frame and spings under the deuce frame? It makes the truck level without using blocks.

    Does this look weak or am I just over-reacting

    Whats sad is that when we bob a deuce to sell we try to go with massive overkill on strength of componants. Alot of other builders do too. But one idiot like this can endanger our whole hobby by getting some unlucky soul killed. The sale ended on Thursday or he took it off. Fortunately I dont...

    Does this look weak or am I just over-reacting

    This is a pic of a bobbed deuce that was for sale this weak on ebay. I am only putting up this one pic to protect the innocent. I believe the issue with the suspension should be easy to see so I am not going to point it out. I will let the trained eyes of SS members to point it out. Keep in mind...
