- In this video I will be changing the starting on my Lincoln SAE engine driven welding machine. I will also be taking my scrap been to the scrap yard. Then near the end of the video I will be sharing with you a few things I've been learning about building a business. My goal is to help you live a better quality of life. I hope to do that by sharing what I learn in my learning process. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out our online store arosswelding.com. The link is below.

Austin, I just have to say how surprised I was when you said in one of your recent videos that you are attending counseling. When I watch your content, it puts me in such a calm I would think that you would be the one counseling. God bless you
This guy is the Yoda of welding, just good people passing on good skills! Thank you sir.
I cant help but think about water heaters blowing roofs apart when I see one. I grew up watching Mythbusters like a lot of kids from the late 90s and early 2000s... Still amazes me the power those things can handle.
Austin, you should check around to see if you have a local starter/alternator rebuild shop. There's actually two local to me, and I only deal with one of them. He is the sole proprietor and does good work, with high quality parts, at reasonable prices. He usually charges me about $80 to rebuild a starter. If you do have a local guy like mine, you'll be money ahead, and supporting local business. Win/win, IMO. Your OEM starter is better quality than whatever discount replacement you might find.
Alternatively, and my preferred option, is to buy an OEM replacement, or OEM quality replacement, and have my local guy rebuild the original. Then I have a spare for when it needs to be replaced again, and minimal downtime.
Also learned the hard way to make sure I have the correct tools in my vehicle. I felt pretty foolish having a spare starter in my jeep when the original died, and I did not have the right ratchet/socket combo to change it. LOL
No need to install the starter to see if it works. Use jumper cables. Clamp the negative to the starter body. Clamp positive on the large stud. Use a jumper wire, I'd recommend 10 gauge, between the positive and one of the small wire terminals. You may have to try both. You'll know when you touch the right one. The bendix will kick out and it will spin like crazy.
Since you've already got the machine off where it's easy to work on, you might as well pull off the alternator and check the length of the brushes. They're usually easy to replace, newer ones come as an assembly. Often, the only thing wrong when an alternator quits is the brushes being too worn. $10-$15 for brushes versus whatever a replacement costs.
Thats a solid rolly cart, if i could recommend 1 thing ive learned for future cart builds, having 1 rigid wheel and 3 swivel wheels makes it a bit easier to push heavy stuff in a straight line and still be able to have great maneuverability. Thanks for the videos man
Nice job. But I think it’s easier to roll 50 pounds of tool to the 1000 pound welder than vise versa. You still have some of the best content. Learn something everyday
Thank you for making these videos. You really inspire me.
You’re right Austin, you can never have too many shop tables in a small shop, I have built several of them, when it gets crowded in the shop they get rolled outdoors. I’ve got some small ones with all swivel casters and some bigger tables with two non-swivel casters on one end and two swivels on the other end, this setup works good for when pushing heavy stuff in and out of the shop. I use the swivel casters with the brakes on them, so I can lock them down so they don’t roll over my toes or my barn cats with something heavy on them.
Austin Good afternoon I know it is to late but if you make a short pigtail on the starter so you can use either starter and not have to cut and change your connector if you have to change starter again JB
Strong. Dude. while I'm at work trying to push an empty dumpster as hard as I can without it budging lol. props to you.💪👍
Hello Mr Austin i have to say u have the best welding content on youtube every time i have a problem or want to learn u have been very helpful thank you sir. I am currently on my 3rd year on pipe welding course from Malta. Love the videos God bless you sir
good job Austin, best regards
Enjoyed the video brother. I learned many years ago to always have a few extra parts on hand for things because you never know when you are going to need them. Have a good Ester and we will see you in the next video.
I have an old tote with the top cut out that I put all my “ prepared steel “ in, anything under 3 feet long is what my local scrap yard calls “ prepared steel “, and it’s worth more than the unprepared steel, long steel. For viewers who don’t know, always separate your types of metal, and you’ll get the best price, and make sure it’s clean, no plastic or rubber or wood attached.
Just food for thought. Do you have a starter alternate repair shop nearby? If so you might want to get an estimate on letting them rebuild your starter and if you think there’s something wrong with your other starter let them test for you. The reason I suggest this is that if the armature and the fields aren’t bad rebuilding a starter and or alternators is much cheaper than replacing them. We have a shop need by and I have them do all my starters and alternators and they work and last just as long as purchasing new ones. I’ve used there services for over 30 years and we often tease each other about who’s retiring first.
Looking good around there Austin, thanks for sharing. Do get another starter for your welder and keep it handy just incase. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred
Awesome video brother!
good to see a new video up Austin , been following you for several years now from back in the pipe line welding days when you had the fithwheel camper out east on a job , think those days will ever return and have you been offered any more work in that field ?
When i was welding i had a SA200. I always carried an extra starter
Hello Austin, I enjoy your channel. I do alot of watching not enough commenting haha i spent 8 awesome years in Purcell and honestly believe Oklahoma is heaven on earth. Anyways, was just wondering if you have any state stickers in your store? Thank you
Your all good mate, however the tow chains should be XED over
its amazing how heavy those sa200s are. Im glad i have a 330 mpx, its like 400 lbs. I can drag it around my bed by hand lol]
Sounded like the bendix solenoid wasn't kicking the starter gear into the flywheel. You can check a starter without installing it. Lol
Yep too bad we can't change just the Bendix out these days or even get the end cap off to clock the carriage bolts 180⁰ to get off the crispy spot.
Always disconnect battery negative.
I would probably go get another starter for when that does wear out...never mind 😊
I would have a spare handy anyway. The quality of things now days is subject to speculation. especially automotive electric components such as starters.
@@warrenjones744The OEM parts are usually pretty good. I have a really good local starter/alternator guy that I take my stuff to. His prices are reasonable and he uses quality parts versus the cheap chinesium stuff when doing rebuilds.
Check around, you might have a local guy too.
@@zombieresponder Right you are! Our local starter and alternator guy retired and sold his business. Fortunately it was purchased and moved to a new location by a competent guy. But in general the automotive aftermarket is not what it once was in quality. And yes you have to go OEM for the good stuff most days. Cheers
Im sure you already know this but for those watching your suppose to cross the chains when hooking up to the trailer so they catch and spread the load. I bought an old horse trailer that apparently needed a new hitch and the guy did a great job rewiring the brakes they worked but he didn't hook up the breakaway to the battery oops "all this to say" ask me how I know how important it is to spread the load on the chains even on an empty trailer, because if I didnt cross em I would have lost the hole darn thing you also dont weld chains on ask me how I know that from that experience lol. Side not you can weld something that the chain permanently slides in but not the chain itself!
always take a picture with your phone
Did you change it when it broke down on the pipeline video ?
Or maybe when the weather turns cold it was weak ?
I speak from experience. You should not leave your core until the new part is on and working properly. I have run into problems where the new parts look good but won't bolt up or work properly. Now the old parts are gone and can't be properly compared or measured.
Did you say on one of your videos that you have the plan's for the A frame hoist you lifted the welder with?
Thanks
You bet. Here is a link
www.arosswelding.com/shop/aframeprints
Check you solenoid, before buyin new starter.
Sounds like your chain hoist needs some lube.
I think you could have had the starter out by the time you got that cart into your garage come on!
Are you going to go back to pipelining
Go buy an electric chain hoist
Electric chain hoist keeps the chain fall chain from banging against all your work weldments and from scratching the weld machine
Dam you repeat yourself son
