will the hot max 125 welder weld a car trailer

One thing that should be checked is the 110 vac outlet.- hot-netural reverse- open ground- not all are wired correctly. You can buy a device at most any hardware store- it plugs into the 110 outlet, has lights that will show. this is important and never assume its correct- check and see for your self on all unknown 110 vac outlets.

Yes it will weld up to 1/4 steel to weld thicker steel u can make multiple passes like the other gentleman said you want bigger wire and tip and argon gas as well practice first and get to where you can make a noise similar to the sizzle of bacon frying

yes, it will weld a car trailer. if you use flux mig wire- aka gasless, use .035" wire.- same size tip also. the trick is- its all about the sound the welder makes- no popping sound- just a smooth sizzle sound- adjust the wire speed first--then the voltage for no popping sounds.- do this as you are testing on a same thickness piece- one hand on the gun- the other on the adjustment controls.

It cannot weld aluminum. This welder is DC only and aluminum requires AC. It will work fine for stainless steel and regular steel.

I think I would try JB weld before I tried to weld a hard plastic like a radiator tank. For the most part I have found they do not weld very well unless you have a lot of experience as it is a special plastic that can stand up to very high temperatures.

It's gonna do ok...my concern as a welder would be the metal heating up an distorting with the long welds..1/8 thickness

Yes Sam it will I have the same cart and welder and it fits nicely the only thing is you may have to put a small spacer behind the welder if you are using a gas bottle bigger than 60 cf so the bottle doesn't hit the welder ...it is a nice cart for the money !

Out of the box NO - I tried the aluminum rods without any success. It is DC but with a TIG torch and gas tank you can. What I have read online you can weld aluminum with DC but it is better with an AC unit. AS of yet I have not had the chance to set up my attachments to verify this.

is a nice welder I use to to restore my old Toyota panels seems to be work ok I do not use the gas tank and I do not used it for heavier works only auto body try higher amperage 220 VA AC

absolutely. I had a 64vw notchback that I did a body off restoration and welded in new pans. At the time I had a smaller lincoln mig welder that i did the job with. This one will do it no problem.

I believe over 500 lbs breaks the weld, however the weight (2500lbs) of say a boat n trailer is distrubited over the entire lenght not all on the ball.

it says 500 # but its only me and a youth so i thinking 300# for both of us . please remember safety first so check it from to time make sure every weld is secure

Yes it will.. there will have to be cutting and welding. So you should take it to a shop. Shouldnt pay more than 75 buks for the install.

Hello, It is a universal kit, so it will need to be welded on with fabrication required! Thank you and good luck!

Anything under 60mph it should be fine. Otherwise you can always reinforce the welds yourself.

The package does not say so I would NOT use it for high heat applications for that reason. If it cannot be welded (best choice) use JB WELD or similar 2-part epoxy as they can be used on engines.

The instructions say not to, but we nave a continuous weld bumper and we bought a receiver adapter by swagman to attach the rack. We have not used it on the trailer yet but I don't see a problem. We bought the rack specifically for the trailer.

You would have to get a gas adapter and run a shielding gas or it wont hold at all it would be an extremely brittle weld

I'm not sure if the red metal housing that the motor sits in will support welding or not. I mounted my hoist to rafters in my garage ceiling using pre-drilled holes in the red metal housing and running bolts through a double 2x4 that I strung between two rafters. I did have to take out the motor from the red metal housing first and then screw it all together at the same time. A bit extra work, but it works and is secure.
