Just bought the same unit today, just happened to run across this video on setting it up, Awesome, what a time savor. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@RickBork]

Thanks for the kind words much appreciate you watching.

I just bought it today and this setup was of great help..thank you..what setting did you put your argon at?

[@diazedvin04]

@@RickBork does it uses 110v or 220?

[@lakearea296]

You're right about the clamp going to the positive until you start welding with gas, then the poles reverse.

[@Adrianz456]

Just found about that today!

[@Eddie.7286]

Yup I noticed that also he’s backwards

[@econ9028]

aww yes, as soon as i saw that first spark, instantly brought back memories of my days laying down dimes :)

I just picked up this same welder new in the box for 400 bucks !! Going to get the gas bottle for it today.

[@RickBork]

Good deal. You will like that welder I've put a lot of hours on it and its performed very well. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

[@NorthEastMaker]

Rick Bork even came with the 60 dollar auto sim Lincoln helmet too !! I can’t wait to fire it up. Great channel too. You have earned a new sub from this guy from New England !! Thanks again for the great review.

[@RickBork]

Auto helmets are nice spend many years with the old style now I cant go back. One thing I would recommend is being a little high on the argon pressure I've found you'll get better results with this welder. Thanks again have a good one 🍻

[@NorthEastMaker]

@@RickBork Awesome, thanks for the heads up !! I will be following your setup video and settings. I will let you know on my results.

Do you recommend using argon gas in conjunction with the Lincoln 140 welder?

[@JoseRodriguez-yp2ss]

Very good video thank you

[@jackrodosta7971]

I'm fairly new to welding, but your setup for mig welding is different from the Lincoln 140 HD Weld Pak instructions. Your setup has the work lead or clamp connected to the (+) output stud, the instructions show the work lead or clamp connected to the (-) output stud for mig welding. The setup you used is for flux core welding, according to the instructions, please explain? It obviously works with either setup, is one better than the other?

[@sacus209]

I have the same similar setup that I the just bought recently used. I’m having issue with my weld where it don’t seem to want to give me that spark when welding and I was assuming it was my ground clamp due to old and rusted but I replaced with a new better ground clamp but it still welding red hot welding wire coming out the tip and not sparking like it should. I assuming it my ground cable or I’m not preparing my area of weld good enough. Im try to weld some exhaust pipe and it just won’t spark. Any ideas what causing this issue

Hey Rick. Just a question. Have you ever weld using a generator. I have same machine like yours and I just got the HONDA EB2800 generator and I don't know if it can run this welder machine? Thanks.

With flux core wire not with the solid wire. 🍻

[@jamesranger9193]

What is the argon pressure set at?

[@RickBork]

I run 18 to 25 depending if your working in the wind or the material your welding. Generally you can run 18 to 20 and it will work with most applications.👍🍻

[@jeffreyking6016]

You need to reverse your leads. The diagram indicates for your mig wire, the ground leads must go to the negative

[@dylanblack9891]

Does the ground wire need to go to negative for flux too?

[@alberts9086]

Dylan Black Flux is dc- so no, your ground is on positive and your stinger in negative.

[@orafaball2162]

HEY MAN! I need help how do you remove the wire puller? Because I'm trying to weld but the puller needs to be turned around. I've tried to spin it but it doesnt come off

[@georgewilliams6328]

Will it run off of a 110 as well as a 120 outlet

[@RickBork]

I has the standard 3 prong plug on it i believe it is rated for 120 volts but does not have the 120 volt card with the turned pin. Hopefully that makes sense. 🍻 have a great weekend.

Hi what cain to rolling wire you use you use 030 mig wire but im not see if you change the rolling wire to 030

How's it holding up? I got a miller multimatic 255 with all the goodies, but i want something like this for doing little work around town (on light shit obviously,) but I don't want to lug my miller around, that shit Weighs 250+ lbs loaded with wire, and plus with my cylinders it was over $5,500.00 it's just too much of a liability to drag around. I may get one of these, or i may buy a used Miller bobcat or something idk... tbh i don't really wanna stick weld everything, so i'll probably get one of these. but the bob cat would potentially save money, bc it's also it's own generator... decisions decisions haha.

[@justinw523]

RICK BORK I've seen two different Lincoln 140's, What's the difference in the Lincoln Weld Pak 140 HD and the *Lincoln Pro Mig 140*?? Are they the same or which one is better? Thanks

[@nxtlightdesign7440]

Are you pushing or pulling on this? I'm confused on which direction works better?

[@kylehaidet1523]

On solid wire... pushing, pulling, and straight up and down all have their own uses. I can’t remember exactly but changing angle gives your weld different characteristics such as reinforcement and strength. It also changes the shape of the outcome of your weld. Pushing gives a wider and more flat weld wile pulling gives a taller shape. Everything you do is equal when you go perpendicular with your angle. This is what I was told in school... it’s been a while tho say may not be perfectly correct word for word lol. When using any flux based welding you always pull however or else you get slag inclusions

[@BigBoyNowYT]

With mig I always pull.

[@brandonvidal3636]

What is the diameter of the wire?

[@RickBork]

Wire diameter is .030 thanks for the question. Have a great day.

Hi Rick , I just bought one welder like that , and kindly please tell me , Do I need the gas and the regulator???? Or do you have another video which can show me using only electric without the gas ??? Thank you very much Marcelo Rea

[@thercentertainer1950]

You will have to run flux cored wire. The gas isnts gasoline as your comment suggested. Its normally a 75 25 co2 argon mix.

[@hoxha34]

Great video. did you use straight Argon or was it a mix with CO2. Also have you tried the flux core wire.

[@RickBork]

The argon is mixed with co2. I have used flux core wire but it is dirty lots of spatter and the welds are not as clean.

[@RyanJohnson-dh2ey]

Is it acetaline or argon

[@RickBork]

That is argon and co2 mix.

[@calvinhandley2373]

RICK BORK glad to hear it, you were saying argon repeatedly and was hoping you meant C25

[@chrisrandlett6055]

The polarity wires are backward for gas...

[@clipsentral9913]

do u need gas to run this one

[@RickBork]

You can run with or with out gas on this model you just have to switch to flux core wire to run without gas.

[@shaneholst6940]

Hay Rick I have had better luck when the liner gits a little age it when you feed wire though it is to take your tip off the gun . I've had good luck with doing it that way and it gives you a chance to inspect your tip and shielding nozzle!👍

[@shaneholst6940]

[@luvs2race370]

Mig welding with gas requires electrode positive. Electrode negative for flux core

Everyone's told you already you got. Your leads reversed for your showed gas.

[@bjhachannel6747]

i been watching the man video he tell peoples switch negative cable to positive cable i don't know he right or wrong so dangerous don't know who right who wrong but so dangerous i don't know who i can trusts

[@RickBork]

It is actually quite common depending on the application to reverse to polarity of the welder. The principal is the same using electricity to weld but the direction the current is flowing makes a difference in the quality of the weld. Hope that makes sense.

[@thercentertainer1950]

Reversing polarity is not at all dangerous. On many flux, or gasless processes, you would have the polarity dc electrode negative. This means that the wire feed is negative, or the stick in some cases. DCEN gives more heat that DCEP, or dc electrode positive. 2/3 of heat goes through ground making it ideal for digging processes sutch as fcaw or smaw, but inideal for the process in the vid, gmaw, using gas.

[@Mannshtt]

Clamp is negative. Flux core needs DC negative which is clamp to positive and whip to negative. That’s reverse polarity. When using gas you run the whip to positive and the ground clamp (negative) to the negative post. Nice video otherwise.
