Hope you grabbed it. I got $275 for my SAE-300 with the frozen Herc

This one does appear to need a -touch- more work on it, though.

Are you going to paint the one you have now before selling it?

Yes, $50 is what I paid. I will pick it up soon.

The one I was working on (the one on videos), I will sell without painting.

Google SA200 rebuilds, and see what the high end is. Just getting it
running, and welding, they are almost as valuable as gold. You're getting
the hang of the small details. It's a very simple four banger, and so long
as you got good compression, the generator generates, and a few other
basics, you can make good dough on these machines. The electronics on them
should be TinkerToys for you.

I will see how it goes, if it is frozen, I will try a few things
(Marvel mystery oil), but if I cannot gte it to turn, I will just sell
it as frozen. I am mindful of Gunner's story.

the F163 is rated at 20HP at 1500 RPM, and 26HP at 1800 RPM. In
tractor apps they were about 35HP PTO and 31 drawbar on a good day.
The 540 Cockshutt was an F162, rated at 26pto and 31 drawbar - and
those were Shetland ponies, not Clydes or thoroughbreds.

Which is what I normally do when picking something up like this.

Jack one side up, pull the tire, stuff wood under the axle, let it back
down, jack up the other side, pull the tire, go to the used tire shop,
spend $15-$20 x(2) for tires and then reverse the procedure, then haul
it home.

If you can schlep a compressor or even a tank out there, just fill them up
and see if they'll hold air long enough to get to the shop. Or put it up
on blocks, pull the wheels and tires and haul them to the shop, or put the
whole thing on another trailer to drag it to the shop. You were planning on
taking it home anyway, right?

Or, hey! Even a car dolly or a couple of creepers/4-wheelers chould do the
trick.

But I'd definitely replace the tires rather than try to patch them up.

Given that, get a yellow flasher ("Slow Vehicle!") and you could drag it
on the rims, at 5 or 10 MPH. (BTDT) ;-)

BTW, where is this, geographically? Just curious.

I suggest jacking each wheel off the ground so it might take air if
the tire has been broken free of the bead. I also recommend repacking
the wheel bearings before towing it any distance, or adding grease to
both inner and outer bearings before moving it. If you've ever done it
before, it won't take but an hour for both.

You might also take blocks and set the axle down on those, then take
the wheels/tires to the nearest garage for inflating if they won't do
so there. (Be sure to haul your floor jack with you on this run, as
they easily beat using a bottle jack.) The tires are likely 6-ply and
will run forever with air in them, even with horrid cracks in the
sidewalls. Yours is a short run, yes?

It is about 40 miles.

I guess, the plan is

1) Take a floor jack and a bottle jack
2) Take lots of wood blocks
3) Take the wheels off the floor and try to inflate with a compressor
4) If that fails, take the wheels to a tire place for new tires
5) Repack bearings
6) go home

Yes, and I definitely get the point that the power of the typical
welding arc (30v/120A or even 200A) is far below the power capacity of
the engine, so they do not work very hard doing welding. I love the
machine I just fixed up, it is awesome in its simplicity and good
engineering.

Same thing with old yale fork lifts, a breeze to fix and they last

Mine was made in 1968 and still runs like a champ. It had a blown head

for the repair. Have it now for 20 years.

I took my drums and wheels off. Had new studs put on the wheels, and new
tires put on the wheels, all in the same trip. Got home with some good new
studs pressed in that would take new nuts, and tires that were good for the

time and money to FIX the problem, and do it right.

Thanks. I am just trying to figure out what to do tomorrow. If I can
do the whole thing at NAPA -- change tires and all -- I would rather
do that. Do they change tires also? I guess I should figure out what
is close to the location, and call them up.

Ig, that is like asking me is it going to rain tomorrow. It all depends on
where you live. HERE, NAPA doesn't do tires. They do some light machine
work, like pressing in lugs and bearings. It all depends on where you live,
just like the weather.

OK, here's the most pertinent question. What do you guys think about
the tires, just looking at the picture. Can I possibly inflate them
enough to get to a nearest tire shop?

To me, they look completely shot.

I suggest jacking each wheel off the ground so it might take air if
the tire has been broken free of the bead. I also recommend repacking
the wheel bearings before towing it any distance, or adding grease to
both inner and outer bearings before moving it. If you've ever done it
before, it won't take but an hour for both.

You might also take blocks and set the axle down on those, then take
the wheels/tires to the nearest garage for inflating if they won't do
so there. (Be sure to haul your floor jack with you on this run, as
they easily beat using a bottle jack.) The tires are likely 6-ply and
will run forever with air in them, even with horrid cracks in the
sidewalls. Yours is a short run, yes?


It is about 40 miles.

I guess, the plan is

1) Take a floor jack and a bottle jack
2) Take lots of wood blocks
3) Take the wheels off the floor and try to inflate with a compressor
4) If that fails, take the wheels to a tire place for new tires
5) Repack bearings
6) go home

Bueno, bwana. Sounds like a plan. If you have any air pigs, fill
them and take them, too.

My 2 cents. You get more return on painting used equipment than
anything else you can do. This is especially true for anything you are
selling to hobbyists.

Oh...btw...the low end price for one of these welders in so so condition
here in the oil patch..is $2000.

One like that, will sell for $500-800

So ... what's right with it? (I suspect that may be a shorter
list)

Gunner

Well..its a Lincoln SA200 or SA300. for a start.
Its on its own trailer
It appears to be all there.
The trailer is custom with places for welding bottles..and in the right
place too!

Theres 5 things....

Just cause it LOOKS like ****...doesnt mean its definately ****. It
might just be ****ty looking.

So ... "All this ****, there may even be a pony around here!"?

I know a couple guys who might get it, 'just because it has
possibilities...'

Oh indeed....most definately indeed!!!

Dang - the one is working OT out the wazzoo, the other is making
ends barely meet. Too much work for a road trip, not enough work to
be able to afford a road trip.

Sigh, time and money are constant. You either have one, or the
other.
