i have come across an old Lincoln SA 200 at work and trying to figure out which type I have. The serial number is A-470569. If some one could help me that would be great. Thank you in advance.

Reply:Thank you. Is it worth doing anything with? I'm running a miller on my service truck at work and have been told if that Lincoln works it will make my miller look like a turd.
Reply:That machine is the Harley Davidson and Cadilac of welders to most as far as I can tell. Especially Pipe welders. They are known for their smooth arc to say the least.Last edited by BYW200; 10-26-2015 at 11:08 PM.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:I would assume being that old that it will be a copper wound machine.
Reply:Yes that's correct. When is the last time it ran?SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:Not real sure but motor is not locked up. Someone has taken the fuel tank off. Going to bring it in the shop and try to get it running this week.
Reply:First thing to do, is to be shure and pull the brush cover off the generator. More than likely rats have made a home in there, and maybe chewed on the wires inside. And after that, check to see if the brushes are free moving on the commutator.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st

Reply:I have a SA200 Lincoln glad to find out about no variable speed tools. I have a DeWalt tool with variable speed and I was thinking of using it. Thanks JohnSent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
Reply:Might have to get this SA running and welding and trade it off. Needed a good welder but also power source for grinders and power tools. Hate to have to tie up more space with a generator.

Reply:You are clearly new to the SA 200 so let me spell this out for you. You can run any DC rated tool you want as long as the power requirements do not exceed the welders rating of, if I remember correctly, 900 watts or about 10 amps, and don't use the auxiliary power while welding. Most common tools such as grinders, band saws, and drills are readily available as DC units. If you need a small amount of AC an inverter may be an option. If you need large amounts of auxiliary AC power you will have to give up the true DC generator welder as they produce at best 3,500 watts which is about 25 amps 120 volt or 15 amps 240 volt, and again not while welding, and go to an alternator like the Vantage or any of the Millers as they have 9,000 watts to 12,000 watts, some with 3 phase available while welding, but they are all inverted AC machines with lots of electronics.Plan B is set a generator next to your welder.
Reply:Thanks for the advice. I've heard that the SA200 welders are the best there is. I really would rather buy a generator for the truck then give that good of a welder. I've looked into new machines but been told they don't last as long. I like the idea of having a welder that's over 50 years old that welds better than a new one.
Reply:If weight and space is a non issue, maybe that will work for ya. Considering an sa200 weighs 1200lbs +/- and has at least 1/3 larger footprint than say a Trailblazer or Ranger. Also include the weight and footprint of your generator. It's a lot of crap to tote around for what a 600lb TB or Ranger can do. Not trying to talk you out of it, but it all adds up when you start trying to figure out where to put all of it.
Reply:Then my next question is will the Rangers hold up and consistently produce quality welds. I mainly weld in the shop but have done some site welding with the trailblazer on my service truck. But looking to build a truck of my own for doing some side work. But I work at a scrap yard and found the sa200 and can pick it up pretty cheap.

Reply:I think I'm going to redo the SA200 anyways even if I don't mount it on a truck. It sets on a trailer now so might just keep it around the shop as a back up or something to play with.
Reply:Bobcats need an oil change every 100 hours and brushes every 500 according to the service manual. I've seen neglected bobcats make 800 hours before giving up the magic smoke. I have a 54 SA 200 that has never been apart besides the carb and mag that eats a quart of oil every 10 hrs and still produces quality welds. You're smart to grab the 200. The bobcat is a good machine, it just won't last.

Reply:I just had my 1966 in for new brushes at Stumpf's. The hour meter was not working when I got it so I'm really unsure of the hours. I had all the brushes changed out, the tech said they were only half gone and the armature looked really good like a fairly low hour machine. That's just amazing to me how overbuilt those machines were, back when made in the USA was common and meant somethingSent from my iPad using TapatalkSteveLincoln IdealArc 250Lincoln SA200 1966 RedfaceSteve1990 Miller Dialarc 2501993 Miller Maxstar 140 STR2015 Lincoln MP2101966 Lincoln SA200 Redface
