Hi Tyler and Norm,

Is an arc welder a good choice for a beginner or should the deep end approach be the go if I'm going to do anything more ambitious than a small spot of welding? I may have answered my own question after seeing this job with the mower.
Any minimum power rating I should aim for?

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
