My uncle who is 91 years old and no longer does any welding as his eyes aren't what they used to be, still has the Lincoln ideal arc 250 AC/DC "tombstone" welder that he brought back in 1964, in the pole barn on our family farm, complete with a twin carbon arc torch. He said he purchased it later on sometime in the late 60s or early 70s but some of the smaller AC welding machines that were geared towards the home DIY'er and hobbyists often were included with the carbon arc torch at no extra cost. I used the carbon arc torch once when i was 18 or 19 for heating rusted nuts and bolts on one of our cattle trailers when we were out of oxygen and the MAPP gas torch wasn't hot enough. The carbon arc was as effective as the rosebud tip on the oxy-propane rig, although it was a bit awkward to say the least, I would much rather use the oxy fuel torch instead for heating and brazing. I'm 35 yrs old, and everyone who's around my age that I hangout with on the weekends has never used a carbon arc torch. While it maybe considered ancient technology by today's standards, they can still be very useful in certain situations.

KEEP THE PHONE AT LEAST 3 FEET FROM THE WELD!

Go up 4 to 6 more on rear it'll pull way more it's struggling to bad

I made a pocket mod gas conversion and got it running and driving with a Briggs two horse a few years back but I lost interest in it really quickly cause of how it looked, I gotta say thank u for the video because this made me realize how much better it looks the way you made it into a minibike than as a scooter. I also noticed we had the same idea with the back wheel, weld the freewheel on and flip the wheel over so that the sprocket is on the left side and then flip the drum brake over on the other side. However the stopping force turned out to be absolutely abysmal because the drum breaks are directional and that was another reason I lost interest in it but I think I’m gonna re visit this project now because of this video

Great idea

Thanks that was cool❤.

Bro thank you. Literaly the only video on here that shows for a quik second the wiring getup for the kill switch an which wires where. Thx

Hi sir what iphone model you are using. i am a welder too here in Phillipines

0:50 how do you make that sound?

I just ordered a 10 pack of bearings on Amazon for $13

where u buy the line gage

This is amazing very helpful I loved the video

What if I cant weld

Have owned and used a torch that looks just like yours (made for Sears by Emerson Electric) for over fifty years in mobile welding. The guy commenting below who said these torches are best used on DC is wrong. Single-carbon arc welding and brazing (done on DC) was common a hundred or more years ago, but became obsolete with the development of coated stick-welding electrodes, which are superior in all ways and don't have the issue of bits of carbon getting into the weldment. But twin-carbon-arc still is useful as a heat source, hotter than oxy-acetylene and brighter than a stick-welding arc so you really should use an extra-dark lens in your helmet, like #12-14. I occasionally used my carbon arc torch for pre-heating and post-heating of welding projects (welded with modern processes) when I didn't have any other need, such as flame-cutting, to unspool a bunch of O/A hose from my truck. Twin-carbon arc did and may still have other uses, such as some kinds of brazing operations, and the old-timers used torches like yours for hard-facing, using a special paste. I just have always done these jobs by other methods. Twin-carbon arc did not have nearly as much problem with carbon particles getting into the work as did single-carbon, and the people who used either process improved this situation by buying more-expensive pure graphite electrodes as opposed to the baked carbon type. I would imagine that you are buying carbons normally used nowdays for arc/air cutting and joint-prep; I've never inquired, but suspect that arc-air carbons are similar to the cheaper variety of electrodes for your old torch. I further suspect that the "carbons" used in older movie theater projectors were the cleaner, smoother-working pure graphite. I once did a little checking, and it seems that old movie projector "carbons" are still being manufactured in India, but that's all I can tell you. If you can find anyone who was trained by a real old guy in all of the tricks of twin-carbon-arc, I'd like to hear about that. I am 78, and never encountered any such person. Also, I hope you get your old Sears buzz-box fully restored, and if you do there are a couple of modifications I made to mine (like yours, a 295A version) to improve it. Don't let the know-it-alls give you any guff about "crappy Sears welders with aluminum windings instead of copper!" My Sears welder, my first arc welder, had already started making good money for me (put me through university) when I asked an old welding instructor what he thought. He laughed and told me he had built an ocean-going steel barge, by himself, with a similar Sears/Emerson buzzbox, running the special E7018 electrode made for AC welding. He said it took two years, and that poor little Sears welder buzzed merrily along throughout! There are a lot of things you can do with old-school transformer welders, which are often tougher than the latest and greatest modern inverter machines. But before you start welding on trailers and trailer hitches or anything else where bad practices can hurt or kill innocents, sign up for welding classes. Welding is not like machining, which I also do, and which you can learn largely on your own or with book or internet videos. With welding you need need professionals (i.e., NOT your uncle who "learned to 'weld'" in a high school shop class) who will not just show you how to run beads, but will show you, in dramatic and maybe humiliating ways, that a pretty weld may not be a good weld at all. This has always been true, but is especially so now that wire-feed welders are available everywhere at low prices to clueless wannabes who think, "Hey, just adjust the knobs by the chart and pull the trigger, cool!!" When you suggest classes, these are the guys who say, "Oh I don't want to do anything fancy, I just want to stick a few things together, and besides there are a hundred welding teachers on the internet." Right. But the thing is, wire-feed welding is the best process for an untrained newbie to make good-looking bad welds . . . .

What’s that stuff you sprayed it with to inflate it?

Very cool!

Excellent work

Gonna try and do this and see if i cant pull it off.. 3m papr stuff is ridiculously expensive just gotta spend thousands on batteries and filters to do your job and not get cancer😊

Great video one question, how’d you stay so clean. Man I had to take a shower before I road it.

What’s the top speed??

Great video….I just ordered the boards needed. Just one question. How did you attach the boards to the bottom of the unit? Also what gauge wires did you use?

Interesting. I only looked this tool up cuz it popped up in some ad for $5-700!! Must be for some specialized professional work

Looks Like 3M is screwing over the welder in the name of "safety", and what happens when this flimsly plastic product falls apart? Why just whip out another $3K!

What did you use for the air filter ?

Thank you, amazing video

Great video man! How do you like the sunf tires?

Good demonstration👍🏿

Excellent young man! Very cool you have a bright future Lil bro.

On my CT200U, I took the bearings out and took off the two rubber cap rings and just put them through a parts cleaner tub bath. They were both completely seized with so much grime and almost zero grease. As far as I could tell, the inner race was rolling on the axle bolt with no bearing movement 😬 But after a cleaning and aviation grease, good as new! I'm a cheap guy, so I didnt get new ones, just saved the old ones 😂

Hey i’m having some trouble with the back wheel not spinning freely when i tighten the axle. Not sure if it’s the brake or what it might be. Any suggestions?

On your left spacer did you put the washer on first or last

I think your right spikes are upside down

I want to do a bobber seat but with skateboard bushings, just to take the edge off and still have a firm bench.

If you were willing to sell it how much would you sell it for?

To make your bike sound like it shifted go ask fast you can and shift and do all over again

Fantastic idea! We'll done.

great vid! seems much easier than what i was doing lol. I just had a shade 10 in front of the camera lens but it was still kinda crappy...hopefully this works better! Maybe ill try the shade in front and use your technique and see what happens.. who knows might work!

I’ve read that the image sensor can be damaged without a filter to protect against the massive UV from the arc.

I ran into the problem with the back wheel it turns but the opposite way any tips on how to fix it?

Nice video kiddo. Glad to see the younginz not just watching the tiktok

When you want to be a man but your just a boy 😂

What kind of exhaust do you use, that’s awesome something to look into keep doing videos

Nice video:), im planning to make the same setup. I still have the (broken) original battery and it says 10.8V, and u have it on 14.4V. Is it working fine on 14.4V, just wondering then im gonna make it like that aswell.

What tools did it take to the the engine bolts off?

What about off a cheap professional camera

awsome man ! thank u so much 👍👍👍

Sucky video

how have i never thought of putting a light on my helmet ...im so angry. you got a like from me :D

i missed the part where you drive it🤷‍♂️

What kind of welder is that you’re using, sir?
