Had to send my Lincoln 180c back...

admin

Today I had to send my lincoln 180c back to lincoln.  I took it to my supplier today because the torch cable would not stay in the power lug.  The hose would come out of the lug with minimal force.The repair man said "They're sending you a new one..."  He thought that might excite me.  However, I just bought it 3 weeks ago.  I sold my panasonic 260 last week and I have so many jobs to do.  Tomorrow I have to install a 40 feet of rail.  I can finish that with stick.  I have 180 feet of fencing to fabricate, I have already fabricated 7 feet of it --what at start. I have 10 feet of handrail. That is all to be completed before next Wednesday.The following week spiral stair to start and a 70ft porch rail to build. I can stick weld everything.  I don't want to do the fencing stick because It will take too much clean up.  All that said, they did give me an old Thermal arc 130 mig.  Haven't hooked it up yet.  They did not have any new lincoln 180c in stock.  We'll see how that goes.
