I was all set to order a Millermatic 175 and came upon a used Lincoln 250. I can't seem to find any information on this welder. Is it similar to the new 255? It has new leads and gun and the guy is asking $900. TIA

The local weld shop has em up here 1400 new if I recall, I know of some guys with em and they like em...maybe not as many controls as a miller but they do a good job...not to much difference between the 259&255...oh and sears sells em both also...catalog only...1359 in their book, looking at it right now...
I would get it for 900, and better if he is giving the tank with it also.....the 250 is a 30% duty@200amps and the 255 a 40% duty@250 amps....hope that helps....

the 250 is such a good welder Miller quit making it and brought it back by customer demand I highly reccomend it my dad has had one for about 10 years now with no troubles no probles at all just a shitload of wireburnin service out of it

Thanks for the info. I'm going to go test it out tonight and see how she does.

Skeetshooter,
He said *Lincoln* monkey boy, its one of them red ones, made by the same company that makes them big heavy gray ones like on the back of your truck:flipoff2:

Hey did you hear that, that was my head flying out of my ass again.

My Opinon of Lincoln welders.

if its portable and its liquid cooled it rules

if its stationary and it cost over 300.00

IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!:flipoff2:
