HELP lol

admin

I let all of the smoke out of the starter for my bluestar 2E ac/dc rig.( i am still trying to find out how they put the smoke in there to begin with).The bendix stuck in the extended position, and before i smelled the damage, it ended up wallering out the guide hole and now the armature has lots of play. DARN IT!!! and i finally had it running very smooth, and was fixing to try first weld with this welder,  does anyone have a starter for a tecumse oh160 laying around they would be able to let go of cheap? lol this is the 100$ welder i bought two years ago at a farm sale. the one right next to this one went for 450$, but it started and ran. all this one needed was a solenoid, and the carb cleaned out. didnt even have to rebuild the carb. just let everything soak for a couple of weeks in a strong seafoam and gas mix lol.also if any close to the panhandle of tx has ant extra lead at a good(cheap)price that would be great as well. with all i will be doing with this welder.#1 would be ample. am really needing at least 100' of lead, but could get by with less.  i have about 50-75' of either 6-3 or 4-3 wire i could do some trade with if possible. also have a brass belt drive centrifugal pump to trade with as well. thanks  Ted Attached Images
Reply:ROFLMAO okaaaaaayyyy LOL I didnt expect it to work, but what the heck, i just HAD to try the good ol boy barter system LOL New starter ordered today, should be here in 2-7 days LOL and i might have a lead on some leads(pun intended). I am going to trade a 3 1/2 ton A/C condenser unit that i have, and put it in for approx 100 feet of number 2, and 100 feet of number 1 as well. An older farmer around where i live, needs A/C bad cant really do the big welding jobs on his own equipment anymore. I have the A/C he needs, and he has the leads i need.  I  cant believe that i found anyone that was willing to come off of that much lead wire. I am STILL a firm believer in the barter system.    OK now that the expensive stuff is out of the way, i found last night that the button in the  overload breaker is gone. (hint, hint,) LOL If anyone knows what will work besides the miller OEM part i would appreciate it if you could let me know what it is LOL   ( was just kidding about the hint. LOL  I really dont mind paying my own way for things, but if i can trade for it, normally everyone feels they got the best part of the deal  Thanks to all who read. this post.
