@@Captainredneck1488 only when it was mounted improperly. The amount of room the owner's manual says the machine requires isn't a joke. It needs every inch they recommend or it will overheat and act 10 kinds of stupid
I id be. Plating along where the frame is inside and out my dump truck boxes never did that probably cause I built them myself and different box to frame mount good luck people were at a time just trying to save money and this is the outcome just hope nobody got hurt 18:11
For the cost i wasnt inpressed and was even less inpressed when trying to use it with innershield wire of any dia over 0.45.. i sold it to a helper that wanted it to practice with..found a bigger blue pro mocheen for a good price.
Great to see you back John. I’ve been missing you. I have no idea why this is just now popping up on my phone since I know I’m subscribed. Don’t be a stranger.
340 hours on mine (its a 2021) and after a battery swap, Chopper Board blew out, never started again. $4500 to repair, but if I do there wont be any warranty so Id be an idiot to do it. Now it's a brick. Wanna buy it for parts lol?
That's up to the mechanics. I only take things apart and reassemble them when it's required to gain access to a problem. This customer has a couple good mechanics who already had the rock guard out of my way and off the jobsite, so I had nothing to do with disassembly or reassembly this time. Anti-sieze may help, but it also may reduce thread friction to the point where thd bolts just vibrate out. I've never tried it
They're a logger's boot made by Danner. I found them on Danner's website. They're the only USA made from USA sourced materials safety toed boots Danner offered at the time. They were about $500 shipped to my door, but so far they've been comfortable and durable. I'm on my 2nd set of laces which I swapped out for 550 paracord right after the 1st set got burned in two.
Did you ask your dealer about that receptacle issue? That seems really odd and makes a huge portion of that machine useless. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ And what are your thoughts on the durability of the screen??
I didn't have time to take it in for repair, so no I didn't ask them about it, but after I changed the brushes at 1000hrs, the plugs went to work, so it's fixed now. As for the screen, I'm over 2500 hours and it still works like new. That being said, I also don't abuse the machine
Hey Brother hope you're doing well. I'm on my 3rd Ox Bodies repair. Looks like some things could be improved in the engineering side. One question: those round cross pipes underneath are only welded to the doubler plates but not the actual shell. I've been removing the fillet weld around the pipe (air arc) and welding all 3 parts tying them together, requiring less reinforcement such as your example here. I wonder what your thoughts are here. Strange thing is I haven't found any discussion on these issues. Sorry for the long message. Thanks for the videos Man I love this stuff! Jody S. Schwartz Columbia, Tn
I second the need for engineering improvements and I also weld all 3 parts together in some cases. This 1 was just bad enough to require extra. Ox body used to be a top notch bed in the 80s and 90s, but just like every other American manufacturer, they dropped quality into the toilet and flushed
I just ordered a 300MPX. I've never welded before, but this looks like just the thing. Hopefully my neighbors will help me get it into the my apartment. Can't wait to runs some beads. I'll start a YT Channels and review my success.😁
John, I have the same machine. When I start to weld the machine bogs down and almost dies. I replaced fuel filter, plugs, oil change and air filter. Any ideas
I'm not an expert by any means, but I do know Lincoln wasn't joking with their ventilation space requirements around these machines, so if you've got yours mounted down in a bed with s bunch of stuff around it, it could be overheating and causing an issue that way. Mine used to act up on occasion on hot days when I had it on my Dodge, but where I put it on the Ford, it gets much better ventilation and acts like a machine should. Lincoln kinda tricked us with these machines. Very compact machine, but it requires nearly the same footprint as an old SA 200
Thanks for watching. As for new videos, I'm dropping them as fast as I can get them filmed, edited, and posted. Problem is, I'm a very slow editor. I'm trying to get better. Just been so busy lately
I'm not going to lie, a hinderance to run 110v axillary equipment is a pretty big deal. I've got a miller trailblazer and I'm not sure how much better it is to gouge off the miller versus the lincoln as I always hear it's harder on machines that aren't minimum 400 amps. 5/16" is a huge carbon, I was nervous about ever running 3/16" rods off my trailblazer. If I have to gouge, I'll probably lean on my plasma cutter.
Almost 2,000hrs on it now and still gouges like new. If it couldn't handle the amperage load, I'd know by now. As for the 120v plugs, they suddenly decided to work properly after I replaced the brushes at 1,000hrs service like Lincoln wanted me to. Until then, the 2 gang box on the modified dryer cord worked great for bypassing the GFCI
Thank you. And Thank you for watching. I'm working on more right now. Lost a bunch of footage when I switched phones, so kinda starting over again, but that's ok
I definitely agree with you on that part. An average winter here is around 20° in Freedom units. That particular video was at around -5° Freedom units with wind around 5-10mph. Too cold for me. I wasn't prepared. 😂😂😂
I saw this for the first time after it’s been out for 3 weeks! I thought I was subscribed to your site. Missed you man. Hope you’re well. Merry Christmas!
How hard he's working for this shows WHY people take'm to a shop. Also, you ain't a REAL redneck if'n ya don't have a 3 or 5 lb mini sledge on ya truck. Woulda made short work on that tire...😂
Just been slammed with work, lost important footage, and trying to get things settled back into a groove of sorts. Technically still recovering from the Dodge going down on me, but as long as that light at the end of the tunnel ain't a train, I think I'll be back to normal soon. Thanks for watching
Keep em coming John, I give my students a list of you tubers to follow & your on the list, only good welders make the list. Looking forward for more videos I guess it's probably a pain sometimes but we love to see them. I'm always curious how you're doing with the old welding truck, got one myself, thanks Buddy.
Thank you very much for that. I'm definitely working on getting better footage for higher quality content. Losing that other footage really set me back though. Wife just bought a laptop, so hopefully, I'll be able to use it for editing instead of having to do it all from my phone
