Finally took the plunge and bought a Lincoln 180 wire feed. Can't try it yet as it's cord won't plug into the old welder (Smith Roles 180)
outlet. That one has the old "crowfoot" plug on the end of the cord. I've got a new 50 amp outlet to install but I've come up with another
idea. Make an extension cord for the new Lincoln wire feed with an old style crowfoot plug on the end that will plug into the existing welder
outlet but have the new style on the other end of the extension so I can plug the new welder into that. This way I can have the option of
using either welder just by unplugging a cord. The catch is, are those old crowfoot, male ends , still available? That Smith Roles is a 45
year old welder.
