[QUOTE="kegwilliams, post: 803937, member: 16088"] [b]welding![/b] i've had the great oppertunity to battery weld a number of times to get home off the trail. I used the dual red top's with the battery cables and i cary the insert glass out of a welding helmet. you can actualy lay a great bead if you can see, but i did have a problem once that i thought you guy's should know. I had a time when the battery cable clamp on the battery arced and it melted half the top post of the battery. that lead melted quick. just a heads up, make sure they are tight. i was going to build some tighter conections on the battery end but have been to buisy/lazy to do anything about it. anyway works well, it has gotten me and my group homw manny a time. some good one's. flatty sheered the sheer pin on rear axle, welded the axle to the hub. drag link broke at the tie rod ends, both sides at once, welded them up and was able to wheel the rest of the wekend 2 days. shock towers and drive lines each a couple of times.:) anyway good luck!
