just ordered lincoln gxt 250

admin

i just ordered one and it was a very hard choice.  i was looking at the miller 250.  i am in the New Orleans area and went 4 weeks without power after Katrita yea both of them back to back.  what a time!  i liked the extra capacity for generator portion and also i have a lincoln wire welder that has been great for over 8 years.  I dont think you can go wrong with either.Are there any other people on this site with the same machine?How does it do with a heavy load while working as a generator?  The only thing the bobcat seem to sell alittle better was the airflow path.  It seems they might cool better.  Anyway where do i buy oil filters for this thing. I am going to run amsoil and wanted to change it out after about 10 hours. also any tips using this machine will help .thanks
Reply:Yep, I bought one about a year ago.  It has been a great machine so far.  I use mine day in and out on my welding truck, and it has performed flawlessly.  You can get the oil filter from most any auto parts store.  The owners manual will have the part number for it, and they can cross reference it for you.I'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......
