...Hobart 210? http://www.tractorsupply.com/welding-me ... -_-3808902

I want a 230V, gas shielded welder that will work for everything I'll ever need to do to the jeep.

should i go with a miller instead?

The Millermatic 211 MVP with Autoset is not much more.

Oh I sold my Hobart 140 after I got the 212. :twisted:

MSRP is about $2000 but you can get a brand new one dropped off in your garage for under $1600.
