I took a few of the rods to a friends small engine garage this evening and it just so happened that he was going to weld on a lawnmower deck out from under a MTD Brand White mower . The mower was app. 10 years old, so it wasn't the heavy guage steel like they had twenty years ago. He had to crank up the amperage on his old 220 V AC Forney welder as you guys said that they required. He also had a time getting them started. He finally got one to burn for a few seconds.

Thanks for all the replies.
