150 amp mig welder should be more than enough to do the
job required.

110 buzz box will work if your amprage is high enough, or oxygen and acetylene and a rg45 welding rod will work if its mild steel

A 150 ampere welding machine will be all right. For many installation jobs however, 300 ampere portable welding machine has been used in home and shop fabrication works.
