Lincoln welder question
I have a Lincoln gas driven welder. I bought it about 6 years ago.it ran great all the time I have had it. I bought it used. I used it today. It starts up fine. And I welded most of the day. Towards the end of the day I noticed it was not striking an arc very well. Then I plugged an extension cord to run a grinder. It barely spun.
Is there something like brushes in it I can change or is the electric part going bad? I really need it to finish a job.
Thanks for any help.

it should have brushes in the generator head.
looks like the closest dealer to you would either be Haun Welding Supply in Utica NY or GTS on RT#1 in linden NJ

Gentlemen, I appreciate the information. I have not had a chance to get into it yet. I rigged up my buzz box to finish the job. I had enough lines to make it work.
Where on the welder do I find the brushes. Under the side covers? Take the gas tank off?
There is a Lincoln dealer near here I usually go to. He can probably get me what I need.

you need to take the side covers off, then most likely the end cap off the generator head.
i would recommend getting an owners manual for it first to see what you need to do.
google search the model #, you should be able to find a free download manual online.
that is how i got the manual for my miller bluestar.
