  1. Well got 035 tips today ! Welds great ! Very happy not to be fighting with fluctuating voltages and the auto set makes the setting easier! perfect
  2. It’s 120/240
  3. So all is good they had 035 at the store not on line is all! See how it goes!
  4. that there is the machine
  5. Well In my mind miller is doing the classic fixing on the fly ! We've all seen this done even in the Mack days! The m100 gun had some issues they updated it and didn't tell the dealers! Just speculating! will see Monday As they are close Sunday as they should be ! People deserve at least one day off!
  6. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=c8f6ee3847&attid=0.2&permmsgid=msg-f:1750669193546336993&th=184ba05b288c8ae1&view=att&disp=safe https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=c8f6ee3847&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1750669193546336993&th=184ba05b288c8ae1&view=att&disp=safe Haven't tried it yet came with 030 wire and tips ! got 3/4 of a roll of 035 left off the tweco so waiting on a 035 tips ! as they have changed up the gun and the tips are now different that the tips they are stocking! bit of s pissoff!
  7. Well I blew the budget and bought me a new welder for my retirement ! I had a tweco 3 in one welder and was having issue with the voltage control switch ! so After an endless search to find a switch on line and at the dealers and Lack of info from the esab baphoons (must be subsidiary Of Volvo corp) Nothing!No switch! So I got pissed off and went down to the local KMS store here and bought A new Miller 211 hopefully will have better luck with this machine ! Not very happy about having to replace this welder it ain't very old however I cheaped out when I bought the Tweco I thought at that I don't need nothing special for just pottering on my saw mill and tractor etc. for an 800 dollar difference in price at the time! I found out different! We had esab at work and they were never to much of an issue! hopefully this will be a case of get what you pay for! wish me luck! Hopefully not another Volvo like purchase! πŸ˜…
  8. One thing about it its a front to back situation here no stone left unturned! πŸ˜…When we When we BS here on BMT we Do it front to back!πŸ˜‚
  9. Seem to have to bottom the clutch to get it to crank and it’s hit and miss!
  10. All good Paul you could be correct not sure on that either! Glenn ……..?
  11. 350 is Econodye! It needs a multi speed trans to work properly ! They commonly came with a 12 speed in our neck of the woods! If you had a 285 Maxidyne you can get away with less gears as the Maxidyne has a huge working range!The 350 has a two stage aftercooled Coolant at the top ! 285 had Air to air only I believe! Never seen it offered any other way! You could swap parts and use the Chassis charge air !!!
  12. Yup
  13. Looking to find where the clutch switch And the neutral safety are located !Think I may have the neutral switch nailed!
  14. ya Nope Not a good Idea!
  15. Think it may be rayco suspension on the single axle ! If you use the tandem set up you should up grade the brakes to the maxi brakes! And there is a good chance the Tandem Has MACK Brakes not the greatest set up! They have slipper pads not rollers!
  16. Robert bosch can be fussy when cold! when warmed up set the idle with the screw behind the throttle lever 7 mm bolt size I believe! I would also suggest running some fuel conditioner with the fuel as these should idle at 650 no problem! not 800 if you tack is correct!
  17. πŸ˜… You should put that baby to work! You can make the big bucks while your rebuilding the other engine! It can pay for all the parts you put into that other beast! πŸ˜…
  18. Good question! not sure Real hard to call stuff on a deleted engine! your 6 count there is likley the delete doing those two! the temp is the only thing that Could upset the apple cart there!
  19. All this said sooner or later these companys are going to start starving the parts chain! just like the Volvo Turds!
  20. Tough to beat 3406E for simplicity Cat wise! second gen series 60 also! Might fine power plant! Fairly simple drive by wire stuff! Yup N14 too! Only 450 + taxed the bottom end on thous!
  21. 460 xt would be fine except Mack was real stingy handing that out Had to be an all Mack drive Trian!
  22. More info please Manual trans ? ! DELETED ? Maybe a standard derate for the coolant Temp
  23. Yup a two for one sale on turbos when they crater !😁
  24. Don't hold back on info ! How it started happening what you were doing when it happened it all helps! Codes Bla bla bla ! DON"T use any more liquid on the intake! A fuel problem is different than an electrical problem ! A desel will almost always start on vapor ! Just won't run for long!
