Comparing 7014's and 6013's is a little like comparing apples to apples. Both are well suited to clean metal, down hand, shallow to moderate penetration. The 7014 is a little easier to use, has more slag (25% iron powder in the flux) so it takes a little longer arc to keep from sticking, hence most people need a little more amperage. I start my students off on 7014's with 1/4" metal. With all that said, I haven't actually used a 7014 to fix anything for the last 10 years. A 6011 is my preference, it's fast, easy to weld verticle or overhead (fast freeze), and penetrates rust, dirt, and paint. Both the 6013 and 7014 will tend to weld over the foreign material. I do use 6013's rarely if the metal is too thin for a 6011 and don't want to use a MIG (like outside with the wind blowing). Were I doing fabirication of new metal and did not have a MIG I would recommend the 7014 for inexperienced welders, my main complaint is the speed of burn compaired to the 6011's. Cse in point, last time I used a 7014 we were making tobacco baler press head frames out of new square tubing. It takes me 75 minutes to weld one with a 7014 and 45 minutes with a 6011. The comparable DC rod to the 6010. Neither rod is very forgiving, the 7014's and 6013's are.

Restoration Story: 1964 JD 2010 Dsl - Part 2 - by Jim Nielsen. Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal. As a resul
