Update to my welder Harbor Freight 170
I just purchase my 170 work great out box (Nov 2017

But I did few improvements to extend life and function of the welding

1) Add a stronger relay
2) Add a longer ground wire 10FT
3) New ground clamp
4) Welding Cart

That's one bumpin' ground clamp! No grounding issues there. And I like the 3-point undercarriage on your cart. What prompted you to change the relay, was it failing?

The relay looks 10 amp lite duty
This one part will give out and welder will stop working
The new relay is HD type and can be replace
I still use the old relay but only to open and close the new relay
