Need A Good Mobile Welder ASAP

[Up0n0ne]

Thanks Darren I appreciate it a ton, but I think it's time for a new one.

Tried the yellow pages? What about drilling holes and reinforcing with bolts to the bracing along with a weld?

[Up0n0ne]

As far as yellow pages go, I've tryed and found out welding shops don't want to do small jobs and if they do they charge a ton. Overall they make a lot more of of the big jobs or commercial of course.
I think I'll invest in a mig and practice. I have a lot of small stuff I need to make so it will be used.

Thanks for the advice tho', I did think about what your saying.

Bump! Anyone know of another welder in town close to Carrollton I could drive to that could throw a quick weld up? Had it welded about 2 weeks ago and this morning just had a feeling i needed to check it after I hooked up to head out to work & where it snapped before has come apart. A little bummed but oh well, I need this done asap please.
Probably going to trade it in and buy another at this point.
Here's what I'm dealing with now. If I can just get it welded up to make it to the trailer place than I will be ok and hopefully get some kind of trade in value for it.

Give Ray a call at the number I posted earlier. He is bad ass welder and can get you fixed up right... 817 466-6676

How did you make out?

Prolly me! I can fix it no doubt... but right now Im outta town. I can get to it between xmas and new years before I go outta town again. Its a bit of a drive for me, but if you willing to pay the fuel costs for me to drive up there then no problem. 903 466 2870 Don.

Ok, the pic finally loaded for me. Its really strange that channel iron would snap like that... Anyhow, it can be fixed a couple of ways... one, replace the tongue material on both sides and re-attach you old hitch, jack, ect. ect. (the best way, but material costs are higher). I can get all the old stuff off without hacking it up which will save you money on new parts... or, I can put that piece together again with a full penetration weld on both sides, grind it back down and then put a fish plate (reinforcing material designed to spread the load away from the previous break) on both sides. This will work just as well, its cheaper, and I will make it as clean looking as possible for you. Its your call either way...

facepalm:

I believe I called him but he was pretty busy if i remember right.

I babied the trailer all the way to Seagoville where I traded it in on a new one. Thank God it didn't break, it sure was flexing the whole way. That was a nerve racking drive, even at 40-45mph the whole way.
I know probably more than 1 car was mad at me on the road, but thankfully I made it.

I appreciate all the help from people here.

Glad to hear it!

Sorry to hear the fix didn't hold, I will have to give Chris some shit for that!
