miller aed 225 onan engine swap

admin

Anybody know of another motor to swap out the onan with?  I've got the welder sitting here, with a blown motor.  We checked on a rebuild kit, it was priced at around 1500 bucks, and I've seen these welders complete on craigslist for around 800.  Just weighing my options.  thanks

Reply:Also, there are usually guys partsing a motor on eBay.Search for "b48m".  That's the engine in an aead-200le.If you need the engine repair manual, send me a PM.  I've got a PDF.
Reply:just sent you a pm rlitman.  I will look again for parts.  napa quoted my dad that 1500 bucks for the rebuild kit.  I just picked up another one of these machines, an AEA 200 Le.  Its older than the one with the blown motor, but seems to weld fine.  I'd still like to get the other one going though.  Thanks guys.
