I could not find a 46mm deep socket anywhere, so I borrowed a 1 13/16" deep socket from a mechanic next door to me. It was just long enough but worked fine. I think you will have better luck buying or borrowing the SAE socket unless a member has the Honda part.

Hey, the weld on the lower right looks like it's going on! (From an old heli-arc welder)! Grin

Go to Harbor Freight and look at their collection of individual sockets for an impact wrench. I bought a 32mm a couple years ago and made a socket for the steering stem nut. Worth a try.

Old generic 110v mig machine with a crappy feed. The thing I made most often with that welder was birds nests.

If you need me to mail that socket I'll need an address.
It's a 3/4 drive if you need an adapter let me know.

Michael - from another "old welder", although not heli-arc, I've never heard that term before. Can you elaborate? I did a google, and couldn't find it, either. Just curious...

Thx,

Tig welding with helium as a shielding gas.
Old school

I picked up a Lincoln 225 Square wave from My wife's cousin. He works at a Miller Welding shop. It is a big ass tig with a liquid cooled torch. I paid $500 for the welder and had to buy the cooler and torch.

I now have a Hobart Handler 175 mig and it is much better than the POS before that but it's a bit on the light side. I burned up the wire weed board on it already, but thanks to the guys on the Miller welds board I was able to replace the burned out component on the board and I'm back in business.

I would really like a new Mig.

Jeff - I'm familiar with Heli-arc, just not experienced with it. I've tig and mig welded, and currently have the Hobart Handler 187. Very happy with it, for the stuff I do. I have a 50+ year old stick welder, for the serious thicknesses, the kind with a crank to adjust the current. THAT'S old skool!!  Smiley

What I haven't heard, before, is the phrase "Hey, the weld on the lower right looks like it's going on! What does "going on" mean - maybe I'm just missing something, or I'm reading something into it, but I just don't get it. Is it something like "she's got that "cool look" going on!"? As in "nice weld!"? Or is it a welding phrase, that I've never heard?

No big deal, just that it caught me off-guard, not understanding the phrase at all...

Absolutely not a welding term! Just some old musician, hep cat kinda slang meaning it's looking good.
When I worked as a welder we had NO wire feed! Rods came in large cardboard tubes, rod in left hand, torch in right. Had to grind electrodes to a point. I built backpack frames for Camptrails inc. Aluminum with some all magnesium and you haven't lived till you had a piece of flaming mag fly down your boot! Don't ask me how I know!!

Not down my boot, but it went down my shirt as I didn't have my apron on.

One of my buddies got his pant leg on fire, he didn't realize it, as it was on his prosthetic leg.   One of th people across from us noticed it.    Shore did blister up the end of his stub.    Couldn't use his prosthetic for about 4 weeks.

PS:    I bought my sockets from a pawn shop.  Gave them $.50 for both of them......   Mine were deepwell impact.   With my stub extension it works fine.

Ouch!! Both down the shirt, and the fire!!!

I worked maintenance at Wabash National, the OTR trailer manufacturer, for 4 years. I would guess we had between 150 to 200 big Lincoln GMAW welders, several pulsed mig, half a dozen serious plasma cutters, etc, etc. Ain't a welder I can't fix! Smiley  The pulsed mig was the best, though - just LOVE welding aluminum! Layed down a bead very similar to tig. Just way too expensive for MY blood, as all my work is "hobby" work.

Thanks for the reminders on safety gear - I am usually pretty guilty of not suiting up appropriately, as most of my welding is 15 minutes worth at a time. But, it only takes a moment, to have a long-time regret.
