Reply:I hope having clean oil isn't too big a shock for the Wisconsin!! From the look of the pan I'll bet an oil change will be needed soon.

Reply:it hasn't run in 25-30 years and just sat in a dirt floor barn. looks the key was left on and the points fried. plus all wiring connections had 2b cleaned up. lots of corrosion.

Reply:Mike, I think you caught the Wisconsin engine/Lincoln welder bug . Yes I would change the oil again soon by the look of that oil pan. Some guys change the oil more frequently when they see sludge build up like yours. Does your machine weld? It sure does sound nice!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1968-'70 Lincoln SA 200 code 6633Millermatic 200 serial#JE834063
Reply:Hello Wrenchguy, we have the same vintage welder. It always worked great, the only issue I had with it was the crank start, I would hold my head over the air cleaner to keep from being hit with the crank when it starts. Ours doesn't have a governor so we just pull the throttle out to second notch and go for it. Have a great day. John
Reply:I guess we know what the " AS " stands for that you(we) questioned in your last thread about your '57 Lincoln DC 250 AS; Ampere Special!.....I can see that in your machines tag photo and the fella named Sparkie said he thought that what " AS " stood for. Case closed!1968-'70 Lincoln SA 200 code 6633Millermatic 200 serial#JE834063

Reply:Yes "Ampere Special" is the model, but has to mean something to make the decision on the settings and lugs ur bolt to. I don't understand the rpm A B C settings mean. There are no notches on the throttle rod/handle to indicate a rpm setting. No tach. Need specific operators manual. Thanks. This 1 will look good refurbed /customized in the back of a restored back in the day shop truck.

. to hot though. thanks 4 looking, headless wrench guy.
Reply:I mentioned to you before I have a project DC-180-AS and my TF Wisconsin has a locking throttle lever with a metal tag that has the A-B-C settings to adjust engine speed with the rod type/diameter. Your "ampere special" might not have that tag anymore; couldn't tell by photos. Also you must know the three negative lugs are setup with lower current is top lug; a higher current for middle and highest for bottom lug. Try switching to middle lug and try again with that stainless rod; I agree it was a little too hot. Then engine speed it is your current adjustment; like a rheostat on other welding rigs. Also I got a little chuckle when the spent rod landed on the small ax on your bench....it started to smoke and now the ax got it's own "battle scars" !1968-'70 Lincoln SA 200 code 6633Millermatic 200 serial#JE834063
Reply:theres no a,b,c, tag near the throttle tee handle. its kinda veriner locking style, i think its original. i don't understand exactly what the tag would do? does it provide measurement numbers that the handle be pulled from the dash panel? thanks 4 ur interest. mike

Reply:Good morning Mike, are there any notches on throttle shaft? That would be your ABC settings. If not then you would adjust engine speed for current intensity.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1968-'70 Lincoln SA 200 code 6633Millermatic 200 serial#JE834063

Reply:it be easy enough to set rpm with tach and mark the shaft if i knew what the numbers were for a, b, c. i kinda like this throttle rod w/handle because of the ease of locking it at any setting. maybe time to call bob.
Reply:The throttle position rpm a,b,c controls voltage. Nice save wrenchguy. You could put a volt meter on it to see if its got any weld output.
Reply:Mike some old info I found for you

Reply:I have a Lincoln 200 Special serial number A193065 that has been in my family for 72 years. I am restoring it. It was painted orange originally. Can you tell me where to look for the original paint code so I can get the color correct?Gary |
