Scotty what happened to your Miller 211? I turned mine on one day and it started feeding wire all by itself. Took the trigger apart to find one of the spade connectors on the micro switch had broken off. I soldered the wire directly to the micro switch and it has been fine since. Later

its hard reading your threads because us regular people struggle to complete our builds over the course of years and you "throw" together a rig that I'm currently drooling over... Scotty, thoroughly impressed with your work... now just put one of your rigs up for raffle so I can win it and drive it home!

I'm bringing BLING back!
$34 harbor freight 90* polisher and some blue magic. These wheels were trashed.
First one is not touched.
The rest are after a couple minutes with that polisher.
Oh, and don't even talk to me about the wheel weights. LOL

So, this is what I came up with. I had these old school Eagle Alloys left over from Ben's rig. They were 3.25" backspacing and 15x8. So, I slapped them on.
I then drove down to Boulder to pick up my Miller 211 that was in for service. There is a noticeable difference between the two. Not a ton, but the difference between being floored and being 1/2 pedal.
Not sure if I am going to paint them, or try to polish them out, but they were free, much lighter than the steel wheels, and work.
