I just acquired an arc welder at an auction. I'ts about 20 years old according to the manual that came with it. I also got about 100lbs of welding rod with it, in various containers. Many of these are unmarked. This is going to be a real learning experience for me as I only welded once, back in high school in 1951, and then only briefly. I've got a piece of 1/4" steel about 24" square. Would this work for a welding table top? Do you clamp the work clamp to the table edge? As you can see I remember very little about the whole procedure. Luckily my son gave me an auto darkening helmet. Any comments on procedure would be greatly appreciated.

I've had mine two years now, and just got it started recently. I am desperate to get repair/tuning info for this unit.Mine is leaking water past the water pump shaft seal. Lincoln wrote the book on portable engine driven welders. I have another model, 8000 watt kohler power coming from Ohio, but would still like to get my 4-cyl in good shape. I learned to weld at Pima College, in '76, and use my Hobart 135 mig more than anything else. I've been told my engine is a continental. Anybody got a repair manual for flathead four's?

SOMETIMES OLD WELDING RODS GET DAMP,ETC AND DON'T WORK RIGHT. 1/4" - 6011 IS A GOOD BEGINNER ROD. SET YOUR MACHINE 125. BE CAUTIOUS OF YOUR EYES AND WHAT YOU BREATHE. GET INSTRUCTIONS. I KNOW OF A MAN THAT QUIT BECAUSE OF LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS WHICH CAUSED HIM TO CREATE HIS OWN DANGER.

Jim,
Best bet would be get someone that is familiar with welding to come give you suggestions and help you set up/tell you what you need to get going. It is hard to really tell you without looking over your equipment condition etc. You will need C clamps and other tools. Your local community college probably offers courses too. I enjoy welding more than anything on Earth. Good find, BEST of luck.

If you go to www.lincolnelectric.com you can download instruction manuals as well as welding tutorials. The piece of steel will work good for a table, but if you clamp your ground lead to it rather than the item being welded, you will have to keep it free of rust, as well as having bare (no paint or rust) metal of the object being welded in contact with the table. It's easier to clamp it to the work.
