The momentary is a low oil pressure override switch. You hold it in at startup until it builds oil pressure. If you leave your new switch on, it will eliminate the safety features for low oil pressure and overheating.
I was also yelling that at my screen the entire time he was talk about and changing it. Just jumped on my phone to check the comments to see how many people had mentioned it.😂
You're so true, my 30 year old kids get fed up with me banging on about the good old days, when you used to be able to change the valves on your TV and Radio. 👍
Congratulations, it does deserve a part II. With all the cleaning and reconnecting of all the electrical connections that you did, you deserve the rewards. Great job, and keep the video going.
I probably have 25 years of age on you and I admire your drive and determination. I wish more of your and other generations picked up the tools and at the very least, tried to use their hands! Thank you for showing people, anything is possible with a little drive and determination! Can’t wait for the next installment!
@@TheXGamer969In my opinion, that is not a great way to think... you may not have a shop or large property, but you dont have to START with the types of machines i tend to work on... i definetly didn't have ANYTHING when i started tinkering with machines... remember you can start with something as simple as an ANVIL or bench vise, ive got videos working on BOTH of those... if you keep thinking that since you dont have the space, tools, shop, machines, or whatever else that you CAN'T do this type of thing, then you'll never take the first step, which is challenging yourself to try something new (whatever that may be!)...if you want to do something, like REALLY want to do it, then you'll find a way! Hardly ANYONE starts with what you see youtubers like myself with, i have been collecting and investing in my passions for over 20+ years, but i started with nothing while still living at home with my parents! Good luck with your passions! If you're willing to try, you can do anything!
Great job fixing the welder we used to have a dc welder here in the uk used for welding jcb buckets it did a lot better job the the ac welder we had enjoy your welding with it regs Howie 👍👍👍
Your bridge rectifier is good, the reason you get twice the reading is your reading both sides. It should only read just like you tested. There are times you will need to flash your fields while it is running so that the lines of flux created will excite. Always make sure your brushes are free and make complete contact with your commutator or when you flash the voltage will not hit your field windings. Good job young man!
Excellent video, I'm a Master Electrician with over 45 years experience but it's the first time iv'e seen someone make a cable lug out of copper tubing.👍
Its a very good idea, but maybe too thin for this purpose, it maybe limited the current and burn away over time, see how Massive the copper is on the electrode holder around the cable..
@BenjiKimba It can cause issues, especially with thin-wall, but if you need something in a pinch for testing or to finish up a job, it does the trick. I'd agree with you that it'd be best to order up the right pieces for a more permanent solution. The thing that I've seen cause issue is where you have to crimp down the section, with too thin of material it tends to fatigue fracture at that seam/crease, especially if you fail to anneal it after re-forming (prior to crimp or solder).
I also use it all the time since readily available ones are too expensive. And for tractor or machinery use it's perfect. Just solder the wire in and done
@typrus6377 Yes, for moderate currents its okay, you can improve it by take a same piece of tube, saw it in over the lengt on one side, and shift it over the other one, also flattens the end and drill a hole in it so both can be mounted the same, even multiply if necessary to get enough copper thickness, and clamp it together.
Great Video, thank you for taking the time to document the way you were able to bring the welder back to life. I admire the way you problem solve and were able to work your way through the mess of old wiring and get it working again.
Nice job of bringing that welder/generator back to life, you have got yourself an excellent welder on your hands. Like your step by step approach to refurbishing the unit and cleaning and replacing the wire connections as well as the some of the wires. Thanks for the video, appreciate the time and effort you put into them. Looking forward to part 2.
Watched up to 14:25 and you made 2 comments about "Sheetmetal Screws". They are Tech Screws and are a Perfectly Acceptable to secure a cover of That kind. It is just you say it in a tone which demenes them. They are made for such projects, Grant it, they might not be origonal to tha machine. But So What?. Went on to watch the rest of the video. Good stuff. Enjoyed watching.
My friends at the gas utility where I worked for 30 years swore up and down that they would NOT want any other welder than this one. The higher ups bought them new Miller machines. They OUTRIGHT told them they wanted their Lincolns back hands down. They got 'em back ! That is a great welder you have there.
This is a really cool machine with lots of character. But the Miller replacements can run circles around this machine not to mention that parts are readily available. Not sure how they got these old machines back after they were taken out of service. Sounds more more like a movie than reality.
@@giggiddy ...not if you consult Lincoln weldors that do B or pipeline work...a generator is their first choice. and the ones from the mid sixties, all copper windings, are highly valued and much sought after
@ 1:43:00 For the momentary toggle switch...is it possible that you have to press it ONLY when starting...then release it when the oil pressure switch takes over keeping it on? BTW: I found that hammering the copper pipe flat and then drilling it out...before...cutting it off makes it easier to handle...just my experience :)
Love seeing a video again would love an update on some of the old shop equipment, heavy equipment, if any more done to them or waiting on parts or been scrapped keep looking every week to see if you posted any new and still sometimes go back to the older videos
A very nice score and a great fix. I think the temporary switch was meant to be there, as a means to power the shutoff solenoid to start the engine, then once oil presure has been built, the shutoff will remain active until oil or iver heat.
New subscriber here, and as soon as you pulled out the shop vac for step one of cleaning as you disassembled the machine i knew id be a fan. My father taught me how to troubleshoot and fix anything, regardless of how well you know the machine, and atep one is clean and disassemble. Once its open and clean you can start testing each weak point until you find the issue.
ADHD'er here- I love listening while I work, and occasionally stopping to look when occasion calls for it. Helps me focus. Helps that mechanical things are my passion and profession.
Wow, what a marathon effort! I did not think that I would have sat through this video being so long, however, I was amazed with the effort you used to solve each problem as it arose. Good luck with Part 2.
@Salvage Workshop - So glad I run across this video. I will be the first to admit that I am not a mechanic, BUT I do have the desire to learn and I have learned alot from this video. I am in the process of rebuilding an '79 Lincoln SA 200 (gas engine) and it has so much in common with what you are seeing. You my friend have earned a subscriber. Outstanding content and explanations along the way. This is what makes UA-cam so great is when you find someone that explains stuff as they go along. Sometimes manuals and books just don't cut it.
Brilliant video I traded a set of trailer ramps for a ‘broken’ mig welder, I pretty much did what you did, cleaning repairing and replacing obvious bits, it took me about 3 months between paying work but I finally got it to go and it’s absolutely brilliant, big old thing with a remote top and it’ll do anything from bodywork to heavy steel. The best part is that I stuck with it and it’s a great feeling bringing good stuff to life. Love your channel
I very much enjoyed watching you work on the welder/generator. You take a very logical approach to troubleshooting and you have the resources to restore the equipment. And I agree, too much electrical tape is just about right.
You shouldn't replace the momentary switch with an on off switch. The purpose of that switch is to bypass the oil pressure switch when starting the engine so the lack of oil pressure doesn't turn off the fuel solenoid when starting the engine. As soon as it builds oil pressure the momentary switch should be released and not used again until the next time you start the engine. If you use an on off switch and leave it on when the engine is running the engine wouldn't shut down if it loses oil pressure. That is also why the hour meter kept running when the engine was off. The oil pressure switch probably turns on the hour meter when there is oil pressure if it is working correctly and is connected to the solenoid switch correctly. If you do use a toggle switch only turn it on when starting the engine until it builds oil pressure so it keeps the fuel on.
Loved the video! Enjoyed your repair journey. Suggest that you assemble the copper pipe over the wire (up to the insulation), then solder from the open end then crimp/drill as a last step. Much easier with a better transition between insulation and fitting. A bench vise is also a great way to form that pipe end into a lug! ALSO be mindful whenever welding when your dog is nearby. Their eyes are even more sensitive to arc flash than ours.
Excellent video, looking forward to part II. When I watched You work on Old Red, I realized that Your skill level would help Me learn, thanx for sharing, well done and Salute from Florida.😃
Good to see another video out of you . Looking forward to more as you go along.. Enjoyed a lot how you refurbished the shop and got everything up and running.
Congratulations, on getting that machine up & running a lot of people might have given up but you have so much knowledge in many fields plus it's always a great video to watch Keep well, Regards Steve UK London
Awesome, thank you for sharing, always a pleasure watch your project, I learn a lot , you are a good teacher, your explanation are easy to understand , thank you for entertaining 👍👍👍👍
I love love love your shop. You are my idea of the ultimate scrounge. Make do with what you have and MAKE IT WORK. also you have connections, infrastructure and know people who know people...well done sir.
As an old #798 hand I I applaud your effort to restore a neglected/ tired Lincoln SA engine drive to service. That distinctive exhaust note of an F163 Continental, Hercules, Deutz, Kubota, Perkins is music to an old rod burner’s ears. Mr Kathy
Kudos to you for fixing the Generator Great job. Useually people on youtube get these they dont clean the connections and ohm it out like you did. They cannot fix them and deem the dead. You the man. I got a Mig welder and a stick I can weld pretty darn good with the stick if that is all I got. I like stick welders a lot. Diesel motors are the best. Weld that exhaust up with Stainless STEEL it will hold. Also heat it up with a torch first so the metal dont pull the heat of the weld. It will work.
1:42:48 thats probably normal cause u only need to push it for starting it then the oil pressure switch wired in parallel "takes over". until u shut it off.
*Wow what a great mission you were on with heaps of determination... and you got this old machine working again🙂 I shall be looking forward to part two 🙂 You & your family have a great week 🙂nz*
Enjoy your videos, very much appreciate how you show viewers that there are multiple ways to split wood and that anyone wanting to get into splitting should think about how is going to work best for them! Please keep up the good work and hope you sell all dry wood you have!
your rectifier @ 1:30:00 is working 100% fine :) - this turns 3 phase a/c into d/c .. so the 3 terminals are taking each one of the phases and turning it into d/c, which is a single phase ... so no matter how you test it can ONLY go one way no matter which terminals you are testing.... you'll get two of them with half the value as the output because it has only gone through 1 diode at that point.... thats why you brought up double the values... it's working just fine :) - THANK YOU!!! You just helped me FULLY UNDERSTAND how it works... I wasn't sure of the values doubling either, but now it makes sense LOL
I came across your video and your present setup and explaining what your doing is 100%! I have been a millwright and steam engineer for many years and the only strike i see is "BROTHER GET AND USE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES PLEASE!" I had a breaker with a direct short to GROUND explode right in my face yet lucky for me I had safety glasses & shield on! The shield had aclual pieces lodged in it! It ended up o a display that at the time was mobile promoting safety.
Loved this video Matt. Especially enjoyed your electrical diagnostics and trouble shooting. Your use and descriptions of the use of the multimeter were very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Very good job! This is how to learn, and remember what was learned. It seems that after fixing a machine, we understand how it works much better than before we had to analyze what it did, to fix it. Working late and alone is a really good way to "learn it good" Glad to see you doing what you are doing..
Glad to see you using a commutator stone to clean the slip rings. I've seen folks use sand paper or emery /crokus cloth which imbeds small abrasives in the slip rings turning then into brush grinders lol
Can't believe you sorted this thing out with careful observation alone. Great job, looking forward to the next one. Replacing all those connectors will help you sleep better too.
You spoke about glow plugs. I have the same setup on my 1710 Ford 3 cylinder diesel tractor that is about 35 years old. Congratulations on reviving that machine. I'm looking forward to part 2 video. Thank you for sharing with all of us .
I have a SA200 Lincoln w/gas motor, looks just like it but is from the 70's. Make a living with it everyday it's not raining. Glad to see a good machine given some love and attention.... she will do you right.
Hey Matt if you debur / ream your copper pipe when you cut it and the wire will slide in easier and also if you heat and fill the connector about 1/3 full of solder the wire will adhere better and no need to crimp it. Enjoy your videos man. Keep em coming
That is a true Lincoln arc welder man. So smooth in the arc having stacks of power to burn rods away all day long. With a Kubota engine is what I call a late model welder. That is a business in your hand right there. Real welding is done with these! Show us part II for sure. Looking forward to it.
I always like to watch the more in depth restorations etc, Like how you spent the extra time cleaning up all the connections and painting the air box. Imo the extra work is well worth it, Stuff really looks nice when you give it a little tidy up
One thing to keep in mind when using power tools with the older engine drive welders is to use only power tools that are rated AC/DC because if you attempt to use anything with a variable speed then it will either fry the switch or burn the tool up. I learned that lesson many years ago with a Hobart welder.
You need to put that momentary on button back on..... You push it when cranking, until oil pressure builds. The way you set it up, will destroy the engine if it looses oil pressure or the coolant temperature gets too high.
I almost missed the best part of the video, so glad I didn't. About the only part of the movie Juno, that I care to remember, is when Juno's stepmom said she was going to get a couple of weimaraners when Juno moves out and Juno replied, "Oh dream big". rofl . I love seeing your dogs running free and enjoying life, Thanks for filming them and sharing that with us..
The momentary is a low oil pressure override switch. You hold it in at startup until it builds oil pressure. If you leave your new switch on, it will eliminate the safety features for low oil pressure and overheating.
Should’ve just left it like it was., it was like that and worked fine until someone else came along and started modifying it.
That was what I was yelling to my screen, too...
Yes. He needs to put the momentary switch back.
I was also yelling that at my screen the entire time he was talk about and changing it. Just jumped on my phone to check the comments to see how many people had mentioned it.😂
Kept thinking there was a reason it was done that way. This makes a lot of sense.
Just proves old stuff was made to last till the end of time
Love this videos
I love watching you work on all this old stuff. The world is just disposable now.
You're so true, my 30 year old kids get fed up with me banging on about the good old days, when you used to be able to change the valves on your TV and Radio. 👍
This was such a roller coaster of emotions. I cannot believe I watched a three hour feature film about a dude fixing a welder. No regrets
Congrats on getting the welder up and running - working on wiring is something a lot of people shy away from but not you. Well done.
Congratulations, it does deserve a part II. With all the cleaning and reconnecting of all the electrical connections that you did, you deserve the rewards. Great job, and keep the video going.
A great way to spend 2 1/2 hours. You sound so positive these days. Thank you.

Welding unit deserves a custom paint job, candy root beer with flake, any candy with flake 🤘💯
I agree... don't miss part 2, I think you'll enjoy it!

Very good job! This is how to learn, and remember what was learned. It seems that after fixing a machine, we understand how it works much better than before we had to analyze what it did, to fix it. Working late and alone is a really good way to "learn it good" Glad to see you doing what you are doing..
Great Job, i've learned a lot from you since I started watching your video's!!!!
Good job will be looking for the finished product . Yes having dogs is a blessing
Glad to see you using a commutator stone to clean the slip rings. I've seen folks use sand paper or emery /crokus cloth which imbeds small abrasives in the slip rings turning then into brush grinders lol
Can't believe you sorted this thing out with careful observation alone. Great job, looking forward to the next one. Replacing all those connectors will help you sleep better too.
You spoke about glow plugs.
I have the same setup on my 1710 Ford 3 cylinder diesel tractor that is about 35 years old.
Congratulations on reviving that machine. I'm looking forward to part 2 video. Thank you for sharing with all of us .
I have a SA200 Lincoln w/gas motor, looks just like it but is from the 70's. Make a living with it everyday it's not raining. Glad to see a good machine given some love and attention.... she will do you right.
Hey Matt if you debur / ream your copper pipe when you cut it and the wire will slide in easier and also if you heat and fill the connector about 1/3 full of solder the wire will adhere better and no need to crimp it. Enjoy your videos man. Keep em coming
That is a true Lincoln arc welder man. So smooth in the arc having stacks of power to burn rods away all day long. With a Kubota engine is what I call a late model welder. That is a business in your hand right there. Real welding is done with these! Show us part II for sure. Looking forward to it.
Nice one Matt, going to be a very useful bit of kit. Looking forward to part 2. 👍
To say that this machine was rode hard and put away wet would be an understatement
I'm so impressed!!! So nice come back....
Beautiful dogs, and great job bringing that welder back to life!
You do great job of explaining each step .
I always like to watch the more in depth restorations etc, Like how you spent the extra time cleaning up all the connections and painting the air box. Imo the extra work is well worth it, Stuff really looks nice when you give it a little tidy up
One thing to keep in mind when using power tools with the older engine drive welders is to use only power tools that are rated AC/DC because if you attempt to use anything with a variable speed then it will either fry the switch or burn the tool up. I learned that lesson many years ago with a Hobart welder.
that was educational on the generator the diode was a cool diagnoses
Thanks Matt. Nice show !
nice bit of kit once the small jobs are done will serve you well for along time great videos thank you
You need to put that momentary on button back on..... You push it when cranking, until oil pressure builds. The way you set it up, will destroy the engine if it looses oil pressure or the coolant temperature gets too high.
Love the fixing and love the Weims for sure. 👍🏻
Good to see the machine running, you'll enjoy it.
I almost missed the best part of the video, so glad I didn't. About the only part of the movie Juno, that I care to remember, is when Juno's stepmom said she was going to get a couple of weimaraners when Juno moves out and Juno replied, "Oh dream big". rofl . I love seeing your dogs running free and enjoying life, Thanks for filming them and sharing that with us..
