Reply:I'd give you $500.00 as is AND drive to Calif. for it, but my wife would kill me when I got home with it!  I'm using Lincoln Service Notice #9301 from Lincoln's website to date these machines. I'm guessing they're not infallible. The code number is used to determine which options your machine has, where the serial number is used to determine the date of manufacture...or so I have been told by the experts!I have actually seen this configuration before, can't seem to recall where?? I'm seeing a cement mixer with one of these motors in my mind?? Must be getting senile! I'm sure someone will give you $500.00 for it, getting it started with the crank used to be easy on the OTHER SA200s. Finding a crank shouldn't be that hard, they are still attached to many SA200s, just no one seems to know why?Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.                                         -Cree Indian ProverbSA 200 LincolnVictor Torches

Reply:Reminds me of old Guitar amps, collectors love the old ones... there are  fewer early ones  and they are unique, lower total #s built etc.  and they can bring some $ WHEN they are in good shapeBest value is unrestored and nice, next is a good working used one or  a well restored one, finally the beaters that need work.   Could be nice with some elbow grease.  Scootin I would not do a quickie clean up if you plan to sell. Restorers usually like it as unmolested as possible to start.Gizzard, U can stay at my place in Yuma on the way home and  zzz and I can enjoy a looksee at this thing.  And, your wife won't literallly "kill" you... just beat U up  a little maybeLincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools

Reply:I'll see your SA200 and raise you 1 Schramm compressor!!  These two look awfull similar yet are very different. compressor makes 35 CFM.  The 2 cyl. SA200's must be pretty common I seem to see a lot of them on the web. any good running welder must be worth $400 and up I would say. Then there is the cool factor if you can't pass things up like me. NOT GOOD I know.

Reply:It's not the same generator as on the SA200 with 4 cylinder Continental why those with the Wisconsin V4 were called a Shield Arc 200 Junior.  Lincoln also made a DC250 with VF4 Wisconsin too.  Airco made some with Wisconsin V4 as well.  I converted a DC250 for a guy while back with electric start had to change the flywheel for one with ring gear and change shroud for one the starter would bolt to and tap some bolt holes into a boss on the block.  Still a lot of them around but you don't see them often with electric start or the auto idler that were factory options.SA200 Juniorhttp://yfrog.com/2mlincolnsa200wiscv4002jLincoln DC250 with Wisconsin VF4  http://yfrog.com/2mwelder01jhttp://yfrog.com/2mwelder19jAirco with V4 and Chevy flexplate for a starter added.http://yfrog.com/2maircowiscv4jhttp://yfrog.com/2maircowelderwiscv4j  Wisconsin engine info:http://www.wisconsinmotors.com/http://my.att.net/p/s/community.dll?...pid=256080&ck=http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wisconsin_engine_club/Last edited by Fixalinc; 06-21-2010 at 05:47 PM.Reason: pics didn't work

Reply:Scott, They were originally the Lincoln red or what I've always found under other paint on them too.  The last time I redone one 2 or 3 years ago couldn't get the original style vertical decals from Lincoln anymore just use other decals from Decal Shoppe.  Problem selling one of those now is the economy and jobs as I'm sure know you can spend more fixing one up than you can get back out of it.  Also not having a idler, auxillary 110V power, electric start and being gasoline doesn't help them either right now.  Have few farmers around here that have one of those welders to use but everyone eventually wants to trade up to a Ranger or Bobcat if they can for the auxillary power and the other guys want a diesel that will run on a tank of fuel for days not a tank or two per day.
