No, about the tank, but i already have that because I had a 110v Century (read:Chinese) for 12 years with which i hack welded....

Ok, fellas, I bought this one: http://www.weldersupply.com/P/275/MillermaticAutoSet11 This is the price with the gas set up and a cart and Miller gloves...with free shipping and no tax, it seems like a good deal. This should be the last welder I purchase. Thanks to you all for the advice.

Guys, I knew I'd get a lot of good comments from this forum. Thanks much. As for what I am welding...metal stuff in the garage. I have had a cheap Century MIG for over 10 years (120v) and its "worked" for quick stuff but want to step up to a more powerful welder doing work on automotive frames...

Looking at some home shop MIG welders (gas shielded)....wondering which ones rate the highest for the best value...?

Guys, Thanks for you helpful comments on this - I was wondering however, CH makes the Husky compressor or at least one very similar and I found that they have a power cord for it - EC012902AV - It is 6 feet long and is the 10/2 configuration...why would that be a bad options? Thanks.

Thanks Charles - I already changed out to the 3 prong. I have 10-3 NM W/G so I used red and black for hot and the bare for the ground. I put a cap on the white like you said and pushed it in the box. At the compressor, I put the bare ground on the compressor ground screw, same as the...

ok - I have one more question on this. I am replacing the 4 prong receptacle with a 3 prong - there are 4 wires in the receptacle hole, (you all, I am sure, know that)....the wires are red, black, white and bare copper - So I used the red as the positive, the black as the negative, and the bare...

All, Thanks much; I have learned a lot from the dialogue you've provided. I think I can get this done now....I appreciate the real responses from all - some other forums, they start out answers with...."I am not sure, but I think you...." - that's really annoying.....all of you who responded...

It a Husky from Home Depot -Model C601H Motor model is BTM56RB34D3.7M

It actually says it 3.7hp and specs show 15 amps...Unfortunately, I cannot find anything on what the manufacturer recommends....

I am not sure I understand hard wired. My garage has a box and the line I am refering to has a 30 amp circuit. It has the THHN wire in the wall. You are saying I should not get some wire qnd put a three prong 230 plug on it? What is required for hard wiring? Specs say its 15 amps

600SL, You are correct, I looked at both and the only difference was $10...plus, Home Depot is closer to my house..... Thanks for the response... How did you configure the air connection and dryer deal...?

Thanks. Will there be an extra wire in the 4 hole receptacle? Also, 30 isn't ok for the 4 hp motor?

Guys, New to the forum so hello to all. I did a couple of searches, and found some info - but I guess my question is really elementary....I just got an Husky 60 gallon compressor and of course it didn't come with a cord. I see that its a 3 wire hook up - but I need about 12 ft of cord and the...
