When I was a kid, a water line froze in our neighborhood. It served several houses, and the guy who ran the local welding shop was dying of cancer, so the city guys (small town) borrowed a small Lincoln engine driven welder, and borrowed leads from all over town, in an attempt to thaw this line. I'm sure all those welding lead connections didn't help. They ran that welder for a couple days with no results. It had a setting labeled "For Thawing Frozen Pipes". Finally, they approached the old welder about using his machine. It had a flathead Ford engine on it, and was truck mounted, with an unbelievable coil of big leads. Junior, the old welder, told them to set it on 300 amps. It was thawed in minutes, with the leads melting down into the snow.
I don't know who built that old welder, but it was impressive. It had two straight pipes for exhaust, and it would really bark when he struck an arc. Something a kid would love to hear, but I bet it got old after using it for a few hours.
Sorry for rambling, but this topic brought back good memories of a good old man.
