Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Lol!! Guys!!!






Well,,, got one side done with very little distortion. Took your advise Steve and drilled holes in back. 1/4" holes, might go a little bigger on other side. Had a hard time at first getting puddle on frame without melting side plate. Did preheat, probably not enough as after a coupleholes it started getting easier. Heated up a bit more I think. Had to turn up to max amps, 255 amps reading on machine. Max amps at first got a puddle on frame and then backed down to ? Couldn't see machine while welding. The last pic is where I forgot to back off peddle and I think I floored it, melting a bit too much. Still learning I know!!! Hopefully grinding down the welds wouldn't reveal holes but if so as long as a little bit is welded together I can always fill in some.
