Welding a base to a motor

[Tim in Indiana]

Any tips?

Sorry for the late reply. Haven't been online for a couple days.

I've done MIG and TIG before but prefer MIG. Just clean off all the paint and plug weld one hole at time. Then hit it with a wet rag to cool it and move to the next hole.

There is a a bunch of mass in the laminations to soak up the heat momentarily until you cool it with the wet rag.

That'll do pig. That'll do.

Now just weld the hose clamp to the housing!
