Changing the plug on Welder Cable
I just bought a used welder which is larger than my old one. The
seller only sold the welder, not his cables. The cables on my old welder are fine, and are supposedly made for all welders. At least that is what I thought. For some reason the plug on the Ground Cable on this new welder is thicker than the Hot one, so the standard cable plugs fall right out. Yesterday I stopped at our local farm supply store. They carry a good selection of welding items, and they did have the thicker plug. I was just going to change it, when I discovered that I can not figure out how to remove the old plug. I dont want to break it, because I may want to use my old welder in the future again. The cable end has a molded kind of material that is shaped like a piece of plastic pipe about 3/4" thick and 3" long. There is no set screw in it, no hole in the side of it, and it does not seem to be screwed on. Tapping on it does not seem to slide it back. How the heck do these things come off? I'm guessing there's a set screw under that molded "pipe" insulator, to take the wire out of the brass plug, but first I need to get that insulator off and I have no clue how. Anyone have any idea???? Thanks |
