I put an ad for a used welder. An old gentleman just called me with a
Lincoln SA 200 with trailer and a Victor torch setup and he'll take $300 for
it all. He says the carb needs cleaning, and it won't run.

Best case scenario, I clean the carb, throw a tune up on it, and it runs.
Worst case, it doesn't.

In both cases, I think it's a deal. If it runs, it's a home run. If the
engine is toast, the rest of the stuff should be worth that much, and maybe
getting a replacement engine won't be too bad.

He says it has a 4 cyl flathead engine, indicating to me it may be a
Continental engine.

Can anyone give me some quick tips before 10 AM tomorrow about what to look
for, how to tell what engine it is, etc. He says it's on a Miller trailer,
and that should be worth $300. I asked him if it was a red face, but he
didn't know. Sounds like he's had it a long time.

Thanks in advance.

Buy IT~~~ Worst case..you can part it out for far far more than $300

They are simple beasts to work on.

Maybe someone can find me a buy/trader for my trailered Lincoln. Needs
engine work (frozen.) I believe it has a Continental inline 4. 350A DC
welder. 50' cables, stainless gas tank, beefyMF trailer, truck tires.

What's the beastie worth? I've had it for years and haven't had the
time to restore it. Too many projects. (sound familiar?

I'll take a decent little MIG welder in trade. Swap here in Grants
Pass, OR.


yob tvoyu mat!!!!! Why didnt you tell me you had that years ago? Id
have snagged it in a heart beat!

I think I did, but I was determined (back then) that it was my very
next project. You know how that goes. Come pick 'er up. It's only 660
miles. We can repack the wheel bearings before you go. What size
Millermatic are you trading?
