Looks great! One thing, every welder on every service truck ever faces backwards. One thing you might want to consider with trailering it is all the rain, snow, and rocks that will be kicked up and thrown at the face of your machine.

FYI that thing you called a fuse is known as a shunt. current flows through it and at a certain point (the smaller wires) you can measure a voltage across the shunt which is proportional to the amount of current flowing through it. exactly how the old charge and discharge meters work in old cars and trucks and also some lawnmowers and tractors

​@@ayitsyaboiThey are usually physically big, but very small value resistors.. You put them in series with your output and because they are such small value, they don't affect the output by much, but they still need to be physically big to carry all the current. Their resistance value is usually very small fractions of a Ohm, but when multiplied by the potentially 150-200 Amp current that the welder can source, will still develop a volt or two across the resistor that can be accurately measured as an indication of the actual current flowing...

What you were playing with there was the current shunt, the two wires measure the voltage drop across the shunt to determine the current. They're in a twisted pair "squiggly" to reduce induced voltages from adjacent wires -interference.

The second computer is the the one with the big red capacitors mounted to the giant heat sink on the other side of the center baffle. The one that was replaced is the control board or basically the low power brain of the welder. The other one is called the chopper assembly and does all the high power grunt work of the weld power. The chopper assembly can be thought of basically like a simple inverter welder.

The capacitor should have probably been the first thing you repaired. They are ultra cheap, ultra easy to change out just a little solder, and it sparkling as it winds down but not when running seems indicative of a capacitor not being able to discharge it's stored charge to start the weld. Of course, that capacitor was on the board you replaced. And yeah, they would do everything in their power to sell you some proprietary horse shit for big bucks rather than replacing a cap that costs probably $0.60 retail and about three minutes of labor and consumables.

That being an older unit, I would bet the computer is repairable. Judging by that capacitor and the rest of the unit, likely just a surface mounted component. Even the boards with all the potting compounds can be dealt with and repaired, if you have the tools time and know how to do the diagnosis and repair. The more modern stuff is a whole other bag of cat lady crazy, way to many micro components and multilayer PCBs to even begin a trace. Things get better with technology but get worse at the same time. I would bet the old school Hobart with a Willies jeep engine still runs to this day, didn't really run the best down low but for dragline repair it got the job done. Good on you for helping the football clubs.

Rich - that welder is multiprocess and can do wire MIG, stick, as well as TIG (just need to add a spool gun and TIG torch), so you should have left space on the cart for two gas bottles (Ar and Ar/CO2) to do the other processes.. Makes it much more versatile than just a stick welder...

Guy had a few trailblazers and two bobcats on Craigslist. Tbs were 400 and the bcs were 300. I obviously wanted the diesel one even though they were clearly missing parts and needed some money input but by the time I got there there was only 1 bobcat left. Didn't even look at it, just threw it in my moms minivan and off I went. Annold timer told me once to spin a corded drill backwards and itll remagnitize something in somewhere so i did it. It worked. I haven't put a dime into that bobcat aside from gas. Same battery since like 04. That little thing starts every time, welds great, a/c works. Case is a bit banged up but I love that old bobcat. Probably have more hours on that than my pipe pro 400!

A "repair" is an entire circuit board swap when often the broken component costs cents and the labor cost of a board repair tech is like 10% of that new circuit board. Something I hope will become more popular with time is to repair equipment like this welder by replacing the proprietary electronics with open source alternatives.

B acknowledged when these were new they were 5000 to 5500 I think now a new one is like 7000-8000 something to consider. Not to mention quick cash your trailers prolly worth 500-600 bucks so yeah ide say you did real good coming in under three grand painted and all. Flex coat makes a epoxy rubber paint if you buy a quart white and a quart black you can mix any color gray you want. Works great for the sheet metal.

I bought a surplus Miller inverter multiprocess machine a few years ago. I don’t know anything about this machine but what they call computers are probably just circuit boards with components and a few basic IC’s on it. In my case it was a resistor that had failed, had a fried contractor and I went ahead and changed out the big caps since those can be a common failure point. Side note, it always scares the hell out of me working on electronics with capacitors as they can store quite a bit of energy for a while and can knock you on your ass even with the machine off and unplugged. I always discharge the caps through a resistor before poking around.

You’re exactly correct. That’s why it amazes me that Lincoln chose to build the new Ranger 330 MPX with a non-rotatable exhaust elbow that points straight out the back of the machine so when mounted properly on a trailer or truck, the elbow is pointed straight into the weather and the bugs and road grit. Extremely poor design. I love my Lincoln Ranger 305G’s and currently own my third one but I only kept my 330 MPX for one month. It was riddled with poor design from one end of the machine to the other.

Amazing how far those wires can travel from a rotary wire brush. I pulled one out of the carpet in front of the sofa last night and that isn’t even in line of site from the garage?

💯 I'm neither a Ford guy but that truck looks great and is really bad-ass with the CAT. I used to be a GM brand loyalist. Everything else was shit, but then I grew up. I now appreciate that every brand has good and bad. I really don't like Dodge but I drive a RAM 1500 for work. Ugly as sin but runs and drives really nice. If you like the way it looks and it does what you want, more power to you.

No shame in knowing when to take something to an expert when you hit a wall. I picked up a dirt cheap 3/4 ton GMC pickup to haul dead cars around with (I'm a mechanic) and it needed one of everything to get it going again. Biggest thing was the broken flexplate. Dude selling it thought the engine was noisy but I've heard that noise a million times before. I got everything in the truck squared away, including a new flexplate, and found out the transmission wasn't going into tcc lockup. After researching how the tcc hydraulic circuit works in a 4L80e, I decided to take it to a transmission shop and have it rebuilt. The damage from the broken flexplate allowing the torque converter to wobble around on the input shaft and a bad MAF(that I had already replaced to get it to run correctly) had caused the PCM to miscalculate engine load and toasted the transmission, according to the transmission shop. I happily paid them and now have a truck I know I can trust with a warrantied transmission.

You know what though for 1500 Canadian and I know you got a smokin' deal on the welder, as you said, I'll bet you still are way WAY ahead even on any other used of the same welder because the computers go in those. That's what happens.. Great video and now you have an excuse to build that welding truck!!

I had a wire from a wire wheel end up in my eyeball once, didn't really hurt just felt weird. I could see the crud along the length of the wire and it was strange to have it move around with my eye. But other than that, I just reached up and carefully popped it out. I don't recommend it though.
