LINCOLN Welder Machine Restoration. will it Run & Weld?

Vintage FORD engine and Lincoln welding and 32v lighting machinery plant from the 1950's restored to operational after sitting for many years. Can we get it Running and working?

A Lincoln welder is a good welder

Your Lincoln welder is a design from the mid 1940's. It was sold as a farm portable welder. A fellow could belt it to a power unit such as yours or mount it on a tractor using the belt pulley. I have an original manual that shows a welder on the rear of a Ford 8N using the right angle belt pulley gearbox bolted to the rear PTO. I would say your unit is a late 50's because of the control on the right side and additional louvers in the covers. The welding taps may need a steel wool polish so you are getting a good electrical contact. Cheers from AL B. In central Ohio.

Who knew Benny Hill was a mechanic?

Needs a good governor setup. Runs 1800 r.p.m. for welding I think. Seems like the old flat head ones did.

she runs good but the governor needs some attention. Awesome machine though.
