trailer welding

anyone in sarasota fl that can weld. i need to weld a shackle on my waste trailer. any one around here that can do it? it cant be moved until its done!

 

I'll be in Sarasota next week to visit family. I can weld but won't have a welder... (FIL has a cheapie mig but I doubt I'd trust it to a structural weld)

There should be a mobile welding service in the area?

 

Might be cheaper to jack it up and remove the spring and shackle and have them fixed than get a mobil welder to come out. And it might be faster too.

 

I hope old broken parts are being replaced it new, not being welded back together. I'm as cheap as anybody, but you don't skimp on suspension parts.

If you want to get a strong welder for repairs, check out www.readywelder.com That's what I use and its a hot welder using fluxcore. You'll need two good batteries, but if you need to do any welding on-site it is worth it. In fact, I don't currently have a shop welder(no power yet). I just use the batteries. I'd bring it down on my trip but we're taking my wife's Honda Civic(diesel prices are through the roof, otherwise I'd drive my dodge ram).

 

ok let me clarify.................. i have a new spring and 2 new shackles. the old ones i cut off due to rusted out. i just need the front new one welded so i dont have to drill a hole to bolt it on.

 

Is this the 4x8 in your sig? Why not get someone to help load it in your truck and take it to a welding shop?

 

its about 500lbs my truck would sink in the rear

 

I wish I could help but I never get down there.

 

Here you go, one search of yahoo yellow pages and turns up 8 welder in you area, this one is mobile, call them and I am sure they will come do it!
