lincoln 140hd

xjbones · 10-25-2009, 03:55 PM

i just picked up a lincoln 140hd for $200 bucks!! i dont have 220 in my garage so i wanted pretty good 120v welder. the guy had it in an apartment and blew the breaker every 1/2 inch he welded. he said he tried it for 20 min then put it away for the last year.

i took a chance on buying it not knowing if it worked but it looked like it had never been used and it still has 2 years left on the warranty.

well i got it home and tried it out and it works great!!

anyone else have one of these? i have only used it with flux core so i was wondering how it does with gas.

Is that the pro mig 140? if so half price or better is a good deal and my brother has one and he been using his for a while now (WITH GAS) with no complaints. He also welds for work so he has been doing this for a long time now. Fuse was to small on outlet else it would work fine.

xjbones · 11-02-2009, 06:51 AM

i dont know why, but i run into these kinds of deals daily!! its just if i have the extra cash to fund it....there is a reason i have owned 23 jeeps now!!!! 38 vehicles total

1990cherokee · 11-02-2009, 07:32 AM

Yes please let me know, if it has good penatration for that trac bar then i am gonna use it for my axle swap.

xjbones · 11-02-2009, 05:17 PM

i used a 135hd for my axle swap.....no probs after beating on my jeep for one summer so far. you should be good using hd140 for your axle swap...just crank it up on high.

1990cherokee · 11-02-2009, 05:19 PM

okay sounds good, now i just gotta find a killer deal on one like you did. So u use flux core or gas shield with hard wire?

xjbones · 11-02-2009, 05:48 PM

i use flux core.....you can weld thicker metal without multiple passes, and the simple fact i need to buy a gas tank still. i would rather do it with gas , just because its cleaner.

1990cherokee · 11-02-2009, 10:20 PM

how big of wire are u using?
