I have a 256 mig welder and want to carry 2 bottles, 1 a mix and the other argon. They sell a 2 bottle addition to the back of the machine but it is over $400 and doesn't have hangers for the steel and spool guns. I can build a cart easy enough but it looks like the present 1 bottle extension is an integral part of the base of the machine. I can not find detailed instructions showing how this 2 bottle accessory mounts. This would give me an idea on the base is assembled. In the end I can cut the present bottle perch off with a zip wheel and set the machine in my cart. I trying to do it a little cleaner and determine how the base is assembledThanks
Reply:I don't have one but it looks like it may sit in/on the single cylinder tray. I see it has new axles for the rear wheels suggesting that the wheels need to be moved and are also wider for stability.---Meltedmetal
Reply:That is what I was thinking. But I can't determine how the accessory, 2 bottle piece attaches because the initial tray with the 1 bottle perch appears to be a part of the single factory tray. It already has a large wheel system. Putting new wheels with outrigger mounts is easy enough, as is taking a zip wheel to the factory tray to fit into the new cart. I just can not find any mounting instructions for the accessory. That instruction would help clarify. I like clarity before I attack anything a 4" death wheel
Reply:hard to visualize without a photo but is there anyway you can just mount a bigger tray on top of the single bottle one?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk:
Reply:actually I'm building a cart right now. Here are a few photos of the two bottle tray

Reply:The manual says "Simple installation andeasy instructions provided." That description suggests, to me, that there is no need to cut anything off. It looks like the box at the bottom goes over the single cylinder mount. Maybe attaches via the original wheel axles??https://www.lincolnelectric.com/en/Products/k1702-1 $667 in Canada.One reviewer on e-bay said it takes up a lot of room. I wonder if that means it makes the footprint longer as well as wider.---Meltedmetal
Reply:New machine always seems to require a new/custom cart right? Adding the 2nd bottle for an aluminum spool gun now requires a perch to hang the hoses and guns. and it is much cheaper to build a new cart than buy a new piece from Lincoln
