My dad and brother have the old 210s. I have a little 135 Hobart (miller) It does good on the light weight stuff. And for a flux core I get a decent weld with it.

Is that the same Hobart that makes industrial kitchen mixers?

I wanted the 251 when I bought it like 8 years ago but couldn't swing the extra cash. The 210 will do 3/8" with one pass. You can go thicker with multi pass but NOTHING automotive is thicker that 3/8". The 251 is rated for 1/2" with one pass. Unless you are welding on dozers or SERIOUS hardcore equipment, the 210 works fine!

If so, how weird...
I think they are one and the same.

Well living on a ranch yes the heavy duty does come in handy. Hitches and the like. Once in a while we have a large project.

That would be handy too.
I am in process of swapping beds on my 90 Ford Pickup. I am needing to weld up a front bumper and grill guard for this pickup too. Thinking 3/16" for the bumper. And then I will rob the grill guard that is on my 79 and put it to work.
