Hey all, thought i would introduce myself. Been goin through the forum lookin abit. Seems like alot of knowledge around in here. New to website, but not welding. Anyways. I've just bought a 64 sa200 redface off abuddy i know. And, this other guy had wired a finetuning selecter knob to it. And for some reason it doesn't work or caused the starter to mess-up. I want to say that it has spark, but not strong enough. I have to get starter rebuilt and put back on before i can tell more. Was wonderin if anyone could help me w/the wiring from the face-plate back to the machine? This welder did run great before the f/tuner was put in . Txs and Happy NewYears too all .
I guess what i meant to say, was i think the guy wired up the rheostat wrong or ??. And the starter is bad. Not sure of yr. the redface code: 4150 / serial#A-415119. Also have one that the exhaust pipe was off and rain got into it. However it is not locked up, but i need to drain and flush, then refill. Not sure of yr. on this one Code:3555 / serial# A-388219. 200ampere/40 volt m-8803 is on the black faceplate. Both ran this past summer and are in need of misc. parts. Like doors, roof(top), and face plates for both.Maybe carb. on the 3555. Any and all help would be appreciated. Txs.
i've got original lincoln doors not rafabs or after market with latches and hinges 275 for the set these things new run 300 each let me know they need paint shipping wont be cheap because of size not weight and a hood for a long hood after tomorow it will be off the machine goin to stainless myself
Ooooh, stainless!! Do you know where i could get a hood ? I had a gentlemans number last year but lost it, i've been hoping to come across someone again. Info would be greatly appreciated.
yeah i know where you can get 1 but where do you live shipping wont be cheap and i'm not sure he'll ship it the hood itself aint cheap but i been waiting 3 years to get mine call me number is in my signiture
Im living in the midwest-east coast ,i have quite a few mailing addresses so i'd check and see what would be the cheapest and safest, is it against the"rules" to ask the price here ? im kindof knew to this thing.ive got a 73 200 if it helps, i dont want to be pushy about not calling i just dont know the time zone thing and hate playing phone tag.
Attached to the fixed leg of your rheostat is the red wire from your recept, the wire that goes to the swiper is one of the wires coming from your generator housing (shunt coils).
The M8803 black face is no longer available original. Stumpfs is making them for $45 and they are red. The doors weigh 20# each and the shipping isn't too bad, but due to the measurements of the roof the shipping is 90-100.
Txs. Shad and K, for the info. I had alittle $$ leftover from ajob. So, i bought them both for $500.. Now its time to go back to work to get the parts i need. Which carb. is the one u have Shad? Again, thanks guys. Will try to check in from time to time.
