Need my motor mounts welded to my frame. The motor is in place need them tacked. Then I will pull motor out and you can finish the weld off. Shouldn't take that long and I will have it cleaned up and ready to weld. I don't have 220 in my garage and I can't move my frame to get it welded.
Any idea on how much this would cost?

It's probably cheaper to run 220 to your garage than hire a welder, unless you have a friend willing to help you out.

^^Agreed

Does your garage have it's own electrical panel?

IIRC you can rent 110v stick welders from rental places. They wont be good for burning some serious rods but for what you need it should be ok. My dad used to have one and we were doing 3/8" carbon steel with it no problem.

The welders here charge 110/hr for the welder and ~70 for the truck. This is in a small town, probably be significantly more in the city.
