I instantly smiled when I saw you take the motor stator out and turn it around. Good repair, Lloyd. Replacement part prices are getting to the point where you either find a clever solution as you did or you will be forced to junk the machine. Thanks for the video. Have a pleasant weekend.
That looks like a great welder. It was great that you were able to find a replacement fan and I like how you turned the motor around to change the direction. The caster upgrade is great
Better than new now Lloyd. I must admit I was a little anxious when you fired up the fan in case you had an out of control hover craft, but all was good.
Hi Lloyd! I have a similar welder, that I've had just about as long as you've had yours, so I found your video very interesting. Thanks for showing us how. Those casters will make your life easier. Take care.
Hello. Welding machine fan failure. You repurpose the range hood motor. That's a great idea. You reversed the direction of the wind by flipping the motor attachment. You successfully repaired the welding machine fan! You installed four rollers at the bottom of the welder. It is effective in moving the welding machine. This is another great idea! (^_^)v Thank you my friend.
I agree Shawn, I just like using it sometime instead of the wire feed welder. This type of welder is what I learned on but hard to beat a good wire feed welder too. So I like keeping them both around. Thanks and take care
How's she goin'? What a great money saver that fan was eh!! And it fit perfect, nice. And adding the castors really makes this welder mobile now!! Take 'er easy!!
those are very good little welders, I have one I think I got it in the 80s it just AC but it's never given any trouble, I did change the cables,, my dad got one back in 63 they called them a" buzz box" because it didn't have a fan and after a while of welding, it would shut off for a while to cool down.. where did you get those steel casters?
