That's the exact machine I got not long ago, and I love it.
BTW, you will want to replace that cheesy gas hose.
I think it cost me about 6-7 bucks for a good one 6 feet long at the local welding supply.
My Son in law hooked a foot on it and ripped it right off the gauges.

Looks exactly like my lincoln weld pak. I bought it back in 1997 been using the crap outta it ever since. About 3 years ago a diode in the rectifier went out. I changed all 4 of them. Been rocking on ever since

I got the 175 and love it . Build ur own CART !
I have mine in the bottle. I’ll have to look at what gas I’m running
I taught myself how to weld when I got my rig by building my own cart. I bought stock material at TSC and went to work on it.
I later added an expanded metal tray under the machine to hold supplies, brushes, grinder, clamps, etc.

Heres a cart idea. I used old bedframe and a china freight service cart. All my auto sheetmetal tools are in the service cart. Slides right under the workbench.

I watched a few videos and then just dove in. Buy some scrap steel and practice, practice, practice.

VERY nice. Seriously nice job. You could probably sell those. But if you are like me, even if you got a good price, you'd wind up making $1 per hour. I made a small coffee table a while back that came out pretty good. I had about 40 hours in it, because I obsessed over making all the welds perfect. I wouldn't do it for someone else for less than $500, and nobody will pay that.
