I am welding new side rails on my stepdeck trailer. The rod was 6011 vertical up on the cross members to the side rail. It would sound like it was sizzling in the beginning of the rod and quite down by the end. It welded pretty good for being vertical up. The setting is 60-70amps DC I think reverse polarity 1/8 inch rod size. The rod is probably either Lincoln or maybe Hobart It is what ever the local welding supply carries not TSC or something like that. The side rail seemed to be awful hot by the time the weld was done not by touch but by looks as if the metal was to hot from the weld setting or thickness, for the heat setting. I am going to guess the sizzle was probably the moisture in the flux on the rod. I keep it out in the shed unheated year around. Any help here would be appreciated.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
