My arc welder is an old Lincoln tombstone. Love it.
The neighbor called today - she had broken the frame on her field cultivator. I went over and welded the frame and then welded on reinforcements to strengthen it. It is a JD unit that is about 40 years old and this was the last area to be reinforced.
Her Lincoln is a tombstone but an AC/DC machine. I assume 5-7 years old. It did a fine job of welding but there was never a cooling fan. I have used it before and I thought a fan continuously ran like mine. The newer ones have a fan, don't they? I ran it for long beads and was probably close to the top of the duty cycle. It had to have needed cooling. It was also about 92 degrees out. She didn't remember as she doesn't weld (her brother usually comes over and welds for her).
