one of the first things I add to every trailer, welder or not, is 12v LED lights so I can see at night. I use pipe to make a base and just another smaller size to fit in it so that the light can turn, they swivel on their own supplied base that I attache to the pipe stand. having lights at night is imperative. the ones I use also double for another pass-time, fishing. its a big thing on the Gulf Coast to fish at night under lights from docks, bridges, piers, etc. The LED lights work fantastic and dont use much juice at all, this means you can run 100's of feet of extension cords to light them up.
My only advice with a barn find welder or one with a unknown history is to remove the main armature cover (belly band) and remove any debris that could get would up. Do this prior to cranking the engine.
I like the rustelouem Hammerite green & black paint cover dinks and gouges on the trailer I think I used the small block Chevy axles mine has a heavy duty. Square tube and because most of my trailers still run 8-145 mobile home wheels due to a fact I have a connection with a trailer I have new tires on all and get them mounted $10 I good my brother has a 8 lug 3/4 ton Tim's with wide tire as he off road use
I have two that I'm working on. Thanks for sharing your video. Would love to see any progress. That trailer looks to be a great starting point for something cool. I'm going to check out the channel link you recommended. Aloha!
Add toolboxes for grinders, vises, gloves, helmets, torch box also. Space to carry pipe or scrap metal. Wrap your extension cords. That's how I have mine. A 😇
Hey nice video Where did you get a new chrome alternator,? I just found a 1983 Lincoln SAB200 from the original owner. So I’m going to refurbish my welder
Newer welders are usually an AC generator that converts to DC for welding. These welders are a DC generator. DC is generally better for stick welding. AC is used in Tig welders so yes AC/DC welders are pretty sweet. Also AC/DC rocks better...✊🤟

Any updates I’m having the same problem I have 110 power but no welding power it just fizzles on the electrode
I have mine apart but supposedly you can hook it up to another dc welder and it will recharge the magnets or somthing

I went to an alternator repair store. He said it’s a really common alternator and ordered it for me
dont forget zinc oil additive it will wipe out the cam without it.
Thx
I’m rite in The middle of doing doing the same thing on sa 200 also . love to see you next video
Thx it’s been really slowed down I got put on quarantined in camp so I won’t be home for a bit...
Don't know much about these welders and electrical. Ok so if a newer welder has ac and dc it can power more equipment right?

@@CJs_DIY Thanks for the info, and yes I agree AC/DC rocks!👍
10,000 lb axel ?
Just how much can you power up? Can you just power a grinder?
It’s dc power so I’m not running anything on it other than a grinder
nice find. Trailer (IMHO) needs a work bench and vice. Check out my 1962 redface, blue dial.
Maybe a clean primer paint job and new faceplate, straight pipe muffler.
It’s getting sandblasted and powder coated.
Sounds like it’s missing on one or more cylinders…

Dam 200?! Steal
For sure
