Lincoln portable 225 AC

admin

I've had this small ac portable for years. The problem I have is that there is no way to move it easily. I coil up the leads  round the box and try to roll it out of the shed or the garage and the little wheels it has is jars the cables loose and I run over them . You have to stop and untangle a mess and roll till it happens again. Has anybody made up something that stores the cables and has a handle to push or drag it ? If you do please share what it is. I going to make something that is easy to use but I thought why not ask for some good ideas.
Reply:Take the little wheels off and move it with a dolly.
Reply:I know exactly what your talking about. They were not designed for mobility at all, lol.Mine hardly sees much further than 5' from the work bench anymore. Now you have me thinking I need to build a dolly to attach it to.Patriot Performance AutoLincoln Power Mig 255CLincoln AC-225 StickVictor Journeyman O/AQuincy QT-5 Compressor
Reply:I like the dolly idea , thanks !
Reply:I put mine on bottle carts from HF and just put tie down straps on them. That way they are easy to take off if need be.The difference between art and craft is the quality of the workmanship. I am an artist.
Reply:I have 2 of these welders & i can move mine very easily. I bent a pc of conduit in a u shape & welded it to the sides of welder with the ends flatened so it would lay up against the sides.  I also took some larger lawn mower wheels with a rod & attached to welder.    front of welder sits level from screw nut.if you do this you can wrap cables around handle & clamp to handle.rolls reald good.make sure to make handle high enough you won't have to bend over when pulling or pushing.
