Lincoln Welder Owner Check-In

[Chanceywd]

Please list parts and how. Thanks in advance

I bought my first lincoln 225 new in the early 70's for $88 on sale at what was know as Central Tractor, Before TSC moved in to replace them. It was somewhere around Binghamton or Vestal NY. I moved to a smaller house and traded it to a mechanic friend for a bunch of hand tools. Missed having it and bought another in the 90's I still have. Thinking about doing the dc conversion but mostly mig now with 210 iron man, the older 210 with the wheels.

3 red 6 blue not all working and some 3ph that need new home! and lots of other flotsam and jetsam.

do you have a parts list and wire diagram? my guess at first is the ground clamp wire to the neg side of the bridge and the stinger cable to the pos side of the bridge and then ground out and stinger out. i guess one could get a large dpdt knife type switch to make it revisable. but having a part number for the bridge and how the wires actually connect to the bridge will save me a bit of testing. thanks

Is the second picture the AFTER and first iteration and the second picture after a capacitor and different fan were added/swapped out?

if you would provide the details on the parts you used and your sources for same, it would be helpful.

How about sharing SPECS on the rectifier and capacitor? Maybe a link to sources for these parts? Is there a circuit diagram somewhere I might download? Did you replace the old fan? do you have before pic or two?
Thanks!

That was several years ago,
I purchased the items on Amazon. You might be able to find reviews of others who have done the conversion.
I will try searching and post if I'm able to come up with any helpful information.

That was an easy search, Amazon has about anything a person could ever need. LOL!!

This is similar to the one I bought, It's not the lowest priced one due to the amperage.
This one is a bit higher.
There are several reviews which could be helpful.

Here is a link to several capacitors.

One here as an example of what your looking for.

You can also use the high side of a duel capacitor such as this one.

The voltage is not a concern, the MFD/Ue = the higher the value the greater the boost will be.



Sure, no problem. . . . .
