Great video. I just won one from an AG Mech show. I’ve been using Lincoln and Miller MIGs for years but never this model so you did a great job answering the questions I had
Just tried that machine in welding class and absolutely loved the feel of it. Mind you I started with the millers but for some reason I wasn’t very convinced with miller. Great machines but Lincoln did it for me .
What a great video! I just bought a used model 140 HD. looks the same in every way. I did not get a manual with it. You did a great job, I learned so much about the machine.. thank you
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the review. Bought my first MIG based on your video! Thanks for all the tips! Northern tool!!
Awesome. You can't go wrong with one of these. Happy welding.
I just bought a used Lincoln 140. It came with the box that said it was shipped 14 years ago but doesn't look like it was used more than twice or three times. It came with a Lincoln stand, 2 helmets, goggles, 2 wire brushes, chipping hammer, 2 new pairs of Lincoln welding gloves, a bag of tips and rollers and 2 spools of wire. Also included was an extra stinger and ground cable and clamp that are new along with 2 new regulators. Bought this for $700 Canadian.
Nice buy! These are great machines
Thank you for this. you talk about it from someone who's had a lot of experience doing this work and it's really appreciated.
I got interested from the usual source, a british youtuber by the name of colin furze. I may have a go in the future but i'll get someone to teach me rather than learn as i go which from what i hear this thing can ruin your day pretty quickly if not done right.
Thanks again learned a lot!
Thanks. Best of luck, enjoy.
Thanks for making this video Mark, I have a Lincoln 100 and am considering getting this 140 to get a little more power and a newer machine
Glad it helped. I love my 140, it's been a great machine.
Hobart is (Black&Decker) Miller (DeWalt) and there is NO better name in the industry than Miller. Lincoln is a solid, what I leaned on and is a primary and simple machine, unbeatable value.

That’s pretty funny because DeWalt is owned by Stanley-Black&Decker and several years ago Miller bought Hobart and downgraded the Hobart line to homeowner grad machines.
In my opinion DeWalt is Serious Homeowner Grade.
For welding it Lincoln and for Power Tools it’s Makita
I have the same machine. Thank you for the information. Excellent video.
Mine is 24 years old and still in use
That's a good lifespan!
Love this machine I have spent a lot of hrs using this. Made quite a bit of money with it. I've had mine for around 3 years never had to fix it yet knock on wood. Only pieces I changed were consumables. If you are wanting to get into welding this is the machine to learn on.
I’m barely bought this same welder, and have no idea how to use it. Why does the wire stick and turn off the machine ?
Back your wing nut off until the spool moves and releases tension but doesn’t start unraveling
Still see them online sometimes, got one yr or so ago, came with an aluminum gun also, was $600 i believe shipped. Also has a switch to change from gas to innersheild. (Polarity)
I’ve had mine for probably 6 year’s. I do mig .030 mainly. It’s a solid cheap machine but for sure has limited settings. If you need something cheap for basic flux core and mig get this.
I'm ready to get one for my garage
I just purchased this same machine. Haven’t even unboxed it yet. Looking foreword to doing a few small projects I have lined up for it.
It's been a great welder for me, I think you'll like it!
Just bought one with coupons from Blain's Farm & Fleet. With tax and shipping, $674.25 . Replacing 23 yr old Hobart Handler 135 , great mig welder, but i really ran it into ground during my racing career , over cycling , etc. Can't wait to set up !! Like Mark said, go with a brand that you can find parts for.
Absolutely. You'll like it.
I love that 140! I had the pro mig 140.I had mine for over 10years…till someone stole it 😢
I’d appreciate it if you had gone over what settings and gas flow you started with.
You did a very detailed tutorial mate thank you I’m looking for a hobby mig welder if it can weld 5-6 mm mild steel that’s all I need jimmy Australia
Thanks. This machine will take care of that. 6 mm (just under 1/4") is well in range for the 140.
Excellent video thanks!
Absolutely glad it helped
Just picked up one of these today with the cart, cover, consumables and 2 spools of wire for $275. Bought it for mainly just automotive body work.
That sounds like a great deal! Should be great for that.
Is it true if your running this flux core you should swap the ground to positive and positive to ground
Just watched farther and saw this addressed, really great video, thansk
is hobart an off brand of miller
Best grounding tip: lock on to your piece with vice grips then attach your ground clamp to them. The aggressive teeth of the grips cut through paint. You will also avoid ground clamp arks.
Great tip
Thanks for sharing.im thinking about new welder. I think you sold me on it.
I think you'll be happy with it. I have been.
Glad I found your video about the Lincoln 140. I was leaning towards the Hobart welder, before seeing your video. Much appreciated.
New subscriber as well, figured you'd have more interesting videos. Plus after reading some of your subscriber's, don't see where I could go wrong. In case you already did a video on the Miller 220. What is your opinion on it? The 120/220 multi function, Mig, Tig, and stick? Thanks again for your help
Glad the video helped! It's been a while now, the new 140 has been performing great.
The Miller 220 appears to be a great machine, looks to be a powerhouse for the next step up in welders. Mig welds welds 3/8" material, that's pretty typical for the dual voltage design. Plus it does TIG and stick welding, that would save some money over buying those seperate. Cant go wrong with the big names, Lincoln, Miller.
Thanks for your video
Hope it helped
Have a 175 PLUS I bought years ago 220 Lincoln
How do you like it?
at 19:34 you don't lose ampereage because lower gauge ext. cord...you will lose voltage instead. thanks for the video.
Thanks
Hey I’m not sure if you still see these comments but I just bought that Lincoln 135t . I had a few questions , it’s in amazing condition having some trouble tuning it . Thank you
@@irideyamaha1212 what are you experiencing for jssues?
Ended up figuring it out , I changed extension cord .
Thank you for reaching out though !
Just got mine. Unused, (with a cart , Lincoln autodarken hood )for $300.
Nice!
Hi. Great video! I just bought a Lincoln Electric U2688-3 SP-140T MIG Welder but it is currently in transit. What is the difference between your machine and mine?
Looks like that's a factory reconditioned unit, from Lincoln. Looks to have identical features to my welder.
Hi thank you i have this welder. What are your setting at. Heat. Wire feed speed ? Im new i have a RV gate hinge to fix 👍
Thanks! That's a tough question to answer...it all depends on the thickness and cleanliness of material you are working with.
Random question?! I am looking into buying this for my husband as a father’s day gift, he works in auto body and collision do you highly recommend this welder as a gift ?
I think it would make a great gift. Just check to see if he already has something equivalent first!
That's a transformer machine, that's why is so heavy. The Forney 140 MP falls in the same category, is multiprocess MIG/TIG/stick and cost around $400 free shipping. I does not comes with the regulator or flow meter but a decent one is not expensive. Forney is as old as Lincoln and Miller. Update: I replaced my Lincoln 210MP with another Lincoln, a 215 MPi.
Forney welders are not very popular around here, so I was a bit skeptical on trying a different brand. However, I have been hearing alot of good things about that company. I think I'm going to purchase one of their Tig machines....thanks for the info!
Yes, less parts and less complex. Theoretically that results in a longer life and better reliability compared to an inverter machine.
@@fml5910 if you buy a good one odds are you’ll be fine. I run a Miller Millermatic 252 transformer machine at work, at home my main mig is a Miller multimatic 255 inverter, I prefer the way the inverter runs tbh, I’m not sure what it is about it, I just like it better 😂. Maybe I’m bias because it came out of my wallet, but I think it’s more than that. I want a little 120 machine like this Lincoln 140 so I can take it on the go and plug up to a 120v outlet.
@@fml5910 Unfortunately for now definitely yes. They usually out live the owner. But inverters have a smoother arc imo.
@@brandoncoston7489 The welders from big box stores are not made as well as their PRO Model's. I have two Lincons both came from pawn shops. you can tell the differs by running then hot on Amps. and serial numbers. they have to cut somewhere. Miller and ESAB, my big machines don't sell to big box stores.
I would have trimmed some material and tacked on there for more support,
Should ha cleaned before tack,
If you use 030 wire which way, would you place that drive roller since it has 035 on one side and 025 on the other side is there another drive roller that I should have? I just bought this welder used and 030 come on it. I know nothing about welding but wanting to learn.
Hello, the .035 groove pulls double duty for the .030 solid wire.

Check out the description for the drive roller.
It might be helpful to download the users manual online, that has alot of tips for setting up the machine and welding basics.
@@marktolman6037 thank you
Batteries are flammable, move them before welding.
Would this mig be good for autobody sheet metal ? Im a total beginner and wanted to learn and do some welding on sheet metal on my truck. Any info would be much appreciated!
This machine would be ideal for sheet metal, thin gauge plate steel. Has a max capacity of 1/4".
@marktolman6037 thank you sir! Much appreciated!!!
sound. WISDOM
I’m setting up my machine right now can I plug it up at my house without replacing anything?
You can, however you may be limited on the higher heat settings, unless you have a full 20 amp circuit
You should be able to weld sheetmetal and 1/8 plate with a household outlet, usually 15 amps, before tripping a breaker
How many watts should i need to use transformer for my new buy easy mig 140. ?
20 amp 120v
Thanks a lot sir ,
God Bless , , ,
How long can I continuously weld with this machine?
At 90 amps, it has a 20% duty cycle. This means you can weld for 2 out of 10 minutes.
Mine is less on 1/4 steel using innersheild actually it sucks only about an inch of welding before it trips out hate it
Hey I'm just wondering I'm 17 and I'm in the automotive program in my high school but they don't teach me how to weld and I want to learn. do you think this is a good first walder
It's an extremely easy welder to use, I would think it would be a great first welder. A little on the expensive side for a first welder, but it would last a good long time.
@@marktolman6037 Do you recommend another weld to first start
@@andresmolina3732 harbor freight has a few nice entry level mig welders, in the 200-300$ range, if you aren't certain you will be a welder or use it alot, it may be a better way to go, without spending as much money up front. If you are fairly certain that you will pursue welding later in your life, or pickup hobbies that involve welding, you may want to spend the money on a nice welder like a Lincoln, Hobart or Miller. I guess it all depends on how much you were going to use the welder...
Thank you
@@andresmolina3732 best of luck!
Have the 120, found the 140 today brand new for 400 at the local oawn shop, ticked to death
Nice find!
Hola , amigo tengo una duda , está soldadora es obsoleta?? Será mejor comprar un inversor?????
Lincoln 140 is a great welder. It is better to buy an inversion welder, like this one. Less, weight, better arc control, better efficiency.
Me refiero si es mejor comprar una Lincoln 140 mig o una con tecnología inverter
Por q la Lincoln 140 mig es de transformador
How good are harbor freight welders?
@@alcerz984 the Titanium series would be the only ones I would look at.
Thank you sir!!!!
By the way, the gas you're using is argon/c02 72/25, not straight argon. Hope this helps :)
Right you are. I casually call all welding gas argon, even though I should be calling this stargon.
I have the same welder and think it's the cats Meow lol
I weld all sorts of stuff with it. Are you a Glazier?
Nice! Yes, I'm actually a second-generation glazier
@marktolman6037 that's so cool 😎, first Gen for me. Been glazing for 27 years near Vancouver BC
Right on!
Purchased my 140 back in 2014 and it is still going strong. It has had almost no downtime, It only went down once because I stepped on the handle and broke it open. Used some electrical tape and it has been three years since that happened and still working. I just changed the drive roller last month and that's it.
Great Video BTW!
I used the machine 4 to 5 times a week so I am impressed, so much so that I used it to build my square drop trailer out of 2 X 2 X .125 HSS tube and it has gone offroad camping for the past three years and still looks great. Here is the link to my build video...ua-cam.com/video/6qjzy-4pR-o/v-deo.html I am not a Pro UA-camr so be kind!
Thanks for the info! Glad to hear the 140 holds up to heavy use! Just looked up your video, camper looks great! I like the removable trailer tongue idea...
🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You bought it at harbor freight?
No, it came from Northern Tool. It's a big catalog company, been around for years
@@marktolman6037 things from northern are much better than harbor freight stuff
I agree.
Since when is flux core welding NOT mig welding?
Since forever, or since the beginning of welding haha. MiG stands for "metal inert gas." Its only MiG welding if there is a shielding gas used, using a solid filler wire. Flux core does not use a shielding gas, as the the center of the wire is flux. Operating similarly to a welding rod (stick welding). MiG welding uses gas to help avoid porosity in the weld, flux core uses the flux to achieve this (although doesnt do quite as good of a job). Sometimes flux core and mig welding get confused, because they are both wire feed welding systems.
So what changes when you run dual- shield mig?
Dual shield arc welding uses 2 shielding methods (hence the dual). Dual shield uses gas, and a flux core wire. This welding method is used in heavy machinery and structural welding. Much hotter, faster metal deposition. Expensive
I’d use smaller wire like a .30
Have been using .025", works great
@@marktolman6037 cool deal
👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋♂️
The shop I went to has the welder for $927
Thats a lot of cheddar
Just make sure you don’t weld your beer on it to
Words of wisdom...
dont know what im doing wrong its not feeding it
Hard to say...ensure the proper wire size, make sure the drive roller clamp is tight. Make sure lead is pulled straight, with tip of stinger removed...
TO MUCH TALKING ??????????
Just to clarify...are you saying there was too much talking in the video? Just curious, as to modify future videos...
@@marktolman6037 just to clarify: you mean as to Whether modify future videos or not ?
Great video sir and I have a question, I'm a beginner self taught welder and my welding isn't the prettiest but it's getting there. What machine would you recommend for someone like me that wants to weld mini bike frames and also 1/4" metal from time to time and things around the home? Thank you for your video and I gave it a gigantic thumbs up. 👍
Thank you! I recommend this welded, but it all depends on how much you want to spend...Harbor Freight has some nice machines for a budget minded individual, or a newbie. If you want to spend a bit more, and get a quality machine that will last a lifetime, get this Lincoln 140 or a Miller. Whatever way you go, make sure to get a machine that has a 120v plug, or a multi voltage plug to fit a typical home outlet. In my opinion, you get what you pay for in the welding industry.
@@marktolman6037 Thank you so much for the fast reply and the info, take care sir. 👍
Absolutely, hope it helps. Cheers.
Can you weld with gas or without?
Yes to both. It's a mig machine primarily, to be used with gas. You can use flux core wire without gas.
