Parts still avaliable for SP-125 Plus?

admin

I recently purchased a used Lincoln SP-125 Plus MIG welder. It's in great shape and by all accounts works well. I haven't fired it up myself as I'm a total newbie and am still educating myself. When I've reach a point of confidence I'll stoke it up and go. But, before purchasing it, I did have the previous owner demonstrate it is indeed functional by running some welds.Doing a little digging, I get the impression this model's no longer manufactured. Which leads me to wonder, if something does need replacing are parts for this welder still readily available?Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away. And you have their shoes.Roland
Reply:If you have the manual, it will have part #s.  Either way, go to lincolnelectric.com and you can get the parts or manual there with the code # on the back.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:The 100, 125, 135, and 3200 all use very similar parts, and I suspect they are either the same, or interchangeable. Tips, diffusers are the same. The sleeve inside the gun hose is interchangeable from all of them. There are plenty of parts for these around, and they are still widely used. Have some fun, go melt something!!!!And then, after so much work...... you have it in your hand, and you look over to your side...... and the runner has run off. Leaving you holding the prize, wondering when the runner will return.
Reply:I used to have a 120plus, and recently sold it and bought a 175 plus, the gun and most of the drive system is identical, and all made by Tweeco, so parts are readily available, and reasonably priced. However those things are built like a tank, and mine was used hard for 5 years, probably put 200lbs of wire through it, and it never faultered or needed any repair, just new contact tips and a nozzle about every 6 months. You'll love the machine.
