Default I need mobile Welder ASAP ..

my damn lawn service hit my driveway gate this morning, and popped the welds on the two brackets that hold the opener to the gate post.

does anyone on here do mobile welding, or know someone that does ?

It is two small 1.5 inch welds, that would probably take less than 30 minutes to do ..

thanks

if not, you could go to Home Depot or Northern Tool and pick up a 110V flux-core wire welder, or a stick welder for a couple hundred bucks. Doesn't take any skill to repair fences, just drag and slag. Don't even need welding gas to do it.

There is a Northern Tool on I45, South of 1960 near that big chinese buffet.

Charge either of them to your landscape company

If you are going to do it yourself, get an AC buzzbox. A MIG would have one hell of a time welding that, especially plugged into a long extension cord.

Someone with a gasoline-powered welder on a truck would be the best bet.
