Rich , that was cool that you thought to test the welding lead after you had turned the machine off and it was winding down. You got awesome troubleshooting instincts.

Jimmy Stuckey says:

The hydraulics on that skid loader are awesome. They haven't drooped a bit

r smith says:

Definitely should do an old Fargo!! Don't see those very often

Carl Swenson says:

new strategy has been realized .. trucks are expensive, used mini-vans are cheap and plentiful

Kirk Oglesby says:

Sweet little setup

Chuck Bellerby says:

Did you look it up on YouTube

tyler russell says:

The second computer is the the one with the big red capacitors mounted to the giant heat sink on the other side of the center baffle. The one that was replaced is the control board or basically the low power brain of the welder. The other one is called the chopper assembly and does all the high power grunt work of the weld power. The chopper assembly can be thought of basically like a simple inverter welder.

Great machine. Run one to this day.

Ralph Kelly says:

its worse when those wire wheels start to shed into your arms and shirt then your sitting later and still picking the wire out your Tshirt or hands
get a water proof cover on the welder saves all that salt and moisture getting into the electrics
Ritch let vince do the stick welding please LOL

Matt says:

That is why I like miller you call tech and they will walk you through diagnosing the welder.
