I've had a Lincoln SP125 MIG welder for about ten years - had to replace
the guide tube for the wire twice so far, and the drive wheels for the
wire a few times also, otherwise, it's been very reliable. Can run off
115V or 230V. It does tend to shut down due to overheating if you do a
lot of
NQ
I just bought a Hobart ( made by Miller ) 187 amp 220 volt. It runs great, I
can use up to .035 wire on it. The whole thing except gas bottle was around
$800.

Tonight I was working on a mount
Thanks Larry. I've done a lot of reading and it seems the Miller line of
welders is about the most favourite welder and highly suggested for all
kinds of uses. The Millermatic 250 is supposed to let you weld some thicker
stuff so you don't have to use the arc welder and it is indeed 220/240v.
Tonight I was working on a mount that will fit in a receiver hitch so I can
mount an aircraft engine on it to test run it and the welder broke. My
little Clark 100E finally gave up the ghost after 20 years of faithful
service. I don't know how to troubleshoot it, but I do know when I turn on
