Lincoln Electric AC - 225 Welder Not Welding

This welder was stuck on 115 amps, the amp selector would move, but it would not weld on any other setting.
Hope you had fun watching, and let us know if there are any projects you'd like to see.

I was having same issue.. thought it was maybe a broken wire inside.. took it all apart and wires looked good... come to find out after taking it further apart i found that the end that contacted the dial part to select current... the little tab was burnt almost all the off...i had some thick copper laying around and just filed factory copper arm to shiny and soldered the new tiny piece of copper to it so it makes better contact.... works like new again and getting full current to material....i bought this new almost 30 years ago.. been a great welder... thanks for the video!

That shaft is Lincoln P/N: 9SS13206 cost about 4 bucks if you buy from airgas. I just had to replace mine.

Thanks my friend I looting part

[@watcherwatchmen7785]

You have to pull OUT on the knob before rotating. I didn't know that until I disassembled the knob and saw from behind how it works.

Well that certainly is useful info.when I bought mine in 95’ it was the floor model and the last one they had and they sold it to me for $150 as is nothing came with it so it may be worth while to spend some time online searching out any info I can,thanks

Does anyone know what’s the part number on that copper tab ? Mine does not have the square contact tip

[@barrykilts4506]

I noticed both your switches work very freely.mine is older than yours and the switches take a lot of force to move but my contacts likely need cleaning to as I’m having slight trouble with stick start

[@Rigoknow]

This one was also hard to turn and the spring had gotten under the center post-contact. I can't remember if that came out on the video.

Hello friend, what a good video, thank you very much for your contribution. I congratulate you. Note that I have a Lincoln AC 225 GLM. Could you help me with the electrical diagram? It happens that you have several disconnected cables and the selector rotor is broken. I will be very grateful. Greetings. colleague

[@Rigoknow]

Do you need to reconnect the wires, or replace the selector switch

Yes, but you need argon and a tig torch.

You should be able to buy parts from Lincoln .

[@Rigoknow]

Yes, I think that you can still buy the entire machine. Home depot or lowes had them or still sell them.👍

Rigo Knows ? Funny Rigo don't know how to set or check the audio level before he post a video.

[@Rigoknow]

It's difficult for me to write in Spanish, but I can read and speak with no difficulty, I will make a shot video of the workings and send that to you soon.
