Mobile Welding in Winton, CA
Winton is an unincorporated community in northern Merced County, 2.5 miles north of Atwater and 10 miles northwest of Merced, the county seat. It grew up along the original Santa Fe Railroad, and at one time passenger trains stopped here. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at small farms, homes, yards and jobsites around Winton.
Covering Winton north of Atwater
From Merced, Winton is about 10 miles northwest, just 2.5 miles north of Atwater, which sits on Highway 99. Highway 140 brings the rig down from Mariposa into Merced to start the run.

A colony town
Winton started as a farm colony. In 1910, Atwater businessman H. A. Logue tried to start a settlement named Yam, with the Yam Hotel and a store at its center, but the railroad placed its station at Winfield instead, ending the colony. The farmland was divided into small plots and sold to newcomers drawn by low land prices, and the townsite was formally surveyed in April 1912. Small-farm equipment, trailers and yard machinery get repaired where they sit, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, a landmark helps: Winton Middle School, Winfield Elementary, Frank Sparkes Elementary, or how far north of Atwater the job sits.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Winton?
Yes. The settlement was first called Winfield, but the railroad already had another station by that name in Arizona, so the ending was swapped from field to ton, which gave the present name, Winton. Atwater, on Highway 99, is just 2.5 miles south. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair equipment on a small farm near Winton?
Yes. Cracked utility trailer axle mounts, bent three-point hitch arms, worn box blade edges and broken hay feeder frames get welded right on the property. Send a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Atwater?
Yes. Atwater is the next town south, 2.5 miles down the road, and work there pairs easily with a Winton visit.
What hours do you work?
Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday - Saturday and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
