I found a good older welder. I'm trying to spruce it up a bit to use here on the farm. The nameplate is shot. Does anyone have one That they could send me and e-mail picture of the nameplate so I can fix mine up. The owners manuals on the Lincoln site are to small to see the numbers. Thanks for the help.

Most Lincoln dealers can probably get you the decals or plates you want. I've even seen some reproduced ones selling on ebay before. You can download the manuals from Lincoln site and print them off and then enlarge it some too.

I think he wants to see where the settings are Farmall MD.

SkyBow, I sent you a email. reply to it and I will forward you a couple of pics. One of the Idealarc 250 AC/DC sitting beside the Lincoln AC180T, and one of the face plate of the 250. I got the Idealarc in bad shape, the dial that indicates Amp setting was destroyed and I fabricated one from other junk. It works like a charm now. I took all the tin off it and cleaned out the inside. Sanded, primed and painted the tin battleship gray to make it look more like my SA-200. Since doing that I have painted the AC180T gray. I also took a trashed Weldanpower 150 and rebuilt the 10 hp Kohler engine, fixeda couple of wiring issues and put a new rectifier bridge in it, painted it gray and it is good agian (with help from this forum). I have a older Weldanpower 130 on the bench now. It welded OK but the engine was weak. It is getting engine refresh and painted....you guessed it, battleship gray.

While you have your tin off, that is a good time to oil the fan, remember to do that. That Idealarc 250 is the best shop machine I have ever owned. Hope yours works out for you as well.

Railhead,
Is there a specific place on the fan that needs oiled? Don;t want to screw it up by shooting oil everywhere.

You are exactly corect. I am out of town till Tuesday night. I'll try to get you that E-mail then. Thanks for the help. I'm really looking foreward to using my 250. I took all the tin off, blew out the crap, and sanded it down to the metal. I painted it Lincoln red and installed 2 lugs to accept the new style lead connectors. Hope to be up and running this weekend...I've still got to run some 220 from the basement out to the garage.

What? If you already know what it is why do you need picture of name plate? To "spruce it up" all you need to do is take the tin work off and blow the heck out of all the insides. Coat of paint if that's what ya want. Doug N
