Where can I get parts for my SA-250?

admin

My welder is pretty old but after going through hurricane Gustav it really made my life easier and me appreciate it a lot more. I had no power for 4 days and my welder kept everything in my fridge/freezer good, the wife busy with powering the TV, & lights. After having it run for hours at a time on my carport I did wish it was quieter. I need a muffler and possibly an exhaust manifold, the old muffler rattles and the base plate is all bent up not allowing a good seal on the manifold. Anyone have a clue where to get parts for such an old welder?Really old (&faithful) Lincoln SA-250 Diesel, &Longevity 200P
Reply:any good muffler shop should be able to fix you a muffler.  as far as the manifold what engine does it have in it?I'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......
Reply:Got the 3.152 Perkins? If so, we have everything for it. A few of these came out with the Continental TMD27 engine.weldersales

Reply:Originally Posted by denrepActually nothing sucks as bad as trying to buy Continental parts. You have a far better engine.Junking Perkins engines - That hurts!Those engines aren't throw-aways yet. In sweepers they probably had torque converters or hydrostats on ‘em too. Ouch!
