We're still working on one of our Alcos, needing to do some welding here and there. Question: is it safe to arc weld on the engine, or could the current damage
anything electrical, or (since the engine is presumably grounded through the trucks) could stray current arc thru the bearings or whatever? Rather not do any damage
on the way to doing repairs, advice please?
Thanks!
