I also used plain CO2 for awhile and it worked fine.
Check with your local welding supply but mine will exchange bottles size for size..
So you could buy one of these oxygen bottles and exchange it for a CO2/argon of the same size for $100.00...
Thats how I was doing the welding and cutting anyway, safety squints were on. But then I opened my eyes and realized I didnt have enough flap disks and grinding disks to make it pretty. But hey aint gotta be pretty if it holds lol

Yes, what a great picture. We had some good fun that night.
Just to add....will never be able to replicate that. What good friends we've made here on MUD. :beer:
Relaxing in the North Rim Lodge plus view from just below. Also one of our favorite Pig Parties. Believe that's @RUSH55 on the couch with you and Jeri.
Big weekend! Finished fuel system, wrapped up some electrical connections, did some troubleshooting, and came up with some work-arounds (bi-passing the “in-park” sensor for start-up), and turned the key (of the Silverado ignition…sitting on my...
I lived for decades without a drill press, knowing I needed one. But due to lack of space I never bought one. Now that I have one in the shop, I use it frequently. Shop life is so much better with drill press. 😇

Working moving cars around shop as we try and organize our living space. Used cheaper gojack castors to move the BJ45.
We had to get it out of the elements, needs windshield and some TLC. @Michael B used these in his shop and they worked great...
Well now that you mention it, I was actually planning just the opposite. I will take a look at both and will consider swapping them, especially if the rear shows more wear. Thanks for the suggestion!
When you put everything back together, you might consider swapping the front and rear diffs. The rear typically has more wear since 4wd is used so less frequently. Maybe you're already planning this, but just thought I'd mention it.
I have been using my Clausing 15 drill press quite a bit lately to rebuild my FJ55 door hinges. The more I use it, the more I like it. Perfect size for my needs and probably more torque than I could ever use. It's extremely smooth raising and...
Finished painting the axles and diffs yesterday. Very pleased with the Mastercoat products. I have used POR15 very successfully in the past but I was sold on other's reviews of the Mastercoat products and I also wanted to use a product with its...
