Lincoln welder
I have a 73, owned for 32 years, use it for plan C.
Bought a new 300 classic G in 97, wore it out, needs rebuilt.
Bought a new trailblazer 325 fi. Wic. and a Arc reach to boot, getting too old to be running back and forth to adjust the machine, especially in a high rise.
Have passed UT and Xray with it also. But it`s modern over tech. ****. Love Hate relationship.
I`ll keep my old SA-200, it will still be running when that new miller ***** itself.
The gantry crane I made which you recently mentioned in another forum is really only to lift the SA 200 out of my truck so I can get it up and running in my garage.
I needed something fast and strong and I had this 4x4 tubing laying around
I rebuilt the mag and replaced the coil which was bad, rebuilt the carb and decided to replace the generator with a alternator. I tried to buy a replacement fuel tank but they were a little to expensive so I resealed and coated the old one
A few other odds and ends and as soon as I get it home I will start working again on it .
Maybe after that since I have a good axel/springs and wheels from the original trailer, I will fab a new one.
What I do with this machine once im done with it is anyones guess but hopefully someone looking for a excellent stick machine will latch on to it.
BTW do you recall the older Miller AE AD 2cylinder air cooled machines with the Onan flat head?
They were excellent running machines, I did a few X ray steam joints with that machine, they welded great.
I eventually went with something bigger as I was doing more and more of heavy machinery, buckets and such
It would run 5/32 low hy but I was beating it up. The next machine ran that wire all day no sweat plus now I was able to run 3/16.
