Reply:I have a Weldanpower 150 with a Kohler mill.  Runs like a top.  I had it out to exercise it this past weekend and discovered it wasn't making power.  I opened her up and I found one of the slip rings laying under the shaft.  The ring had a split and that's how it fell off the shaft.  I'm bummed because Lincoln has no parts for it anymore.  Any suggestions?  I use it primarily for emergencies and if I can't make the generator run, I might buy a generator head from Northern Tool to put on the Kohler.
Reply:There are at least a couple ways to fix it but the engine and welder unit will have to be seperated and the rotor removed from the crankshaft.  About a 45 minute job if you know what you're doing.Where are you located?MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:I'm located in northern Ohio between Cleveland and Toledo.  I've just about got the machine split, It is all loose, now I need to insert the through-bolt and give it a whack.  What sort of ways do you have up your sleeve to fix it?  I thought about epoxying the broken ring back in place, using a hose clamp to keep it in place while the epoxy sets, and soldering a new wire in place that connects it to the other ring.  But I fear that the split will cause the brush to wear too fast.  I suppose I could fill the crack with solder and then polish it, but I'm not sure about how good a polish job I can get done.  I even thought about having a new ring machined if I knew what material to make it from.  Even better, would be to find a good rotor from an otherwise bad machine.
Reply:Well I got everything but the rotor off.  I see that the wire I spoke of connects the broken slip ring to the rotor winding, not the other ring.  I tried hitting the reinserted through-bolt but the rotor is not coming loose.  I think I'll need to rig up some sort of puller to pull or push on the rotor while I hit the through bolt.
Reply:Hey Thrifty, if you want to see an in machine fix, there are 2 Youtube videos out there on slip-ring repair on a Weldanpower machine.[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEqvuEyI4Lo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEqvuEyI4Lo[/ame] And [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dh_A1coq6c&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dh_A1coq6c&feature=related[/ame]Maybe it might help you out.
