Followup question, I only have a 110 MIG welder. I don't think that is gonna be enough to weld on perches, so had always planned on taking it somewhere to get it done. Does that sound about right to everyone?
Depends. How competent a welder are you?

With a 110 and a torch you can do it just fine. If you tack the perches on, pull the axel, preheat just a bit, and run an uphill bead you will be fine.

If that sounds like too much then have someone else do it. I wouldn't want my perches to break off...
