your old man would have been using an old buzz box and damp rods being a farmer. Things have moved on quite a bit especially with inverter machines, they are far more pleasurable to use..
Im a farmers son, I used to watch my dad struggle with welding farm things, eg a buck rake fork onto its frame, for that you need a lot of power, that was in the old days of ark weld in the 80’s, I can’t advise you on a machine which could do that and similarly do thin car work ……… If such a machine exists ?
But most large quality migs would do the repair and weld a car. 20 amps to 330 from an oxford for example, sure there will be others in the inverter market too 30 to 250 I think it is from the paton mentioned above.
