They do have a sweet arc, don't they? I never understood why Lincoln got a way from that arc:confused3:. The SAE machines were close, but the SAMs, and Commanders are just different. I haven't had the opportunity to run any of the Classic series machines, I have read where people report they're the same as SA-200.
This one is my pride and joy, paid $200.00 for her! :dance1:

Ill give you $250 CASH for it and ill even come and pick it up with a dozen jelly donuts for being such a good sport

I sure would hate to make you mad Mike, I like you! But did you see where I turned down $3,700.00 for her?

I think I've paid for a hair cut maybe 4 or 5 times in my life, because I was working out of town. My mom was a beautician. My sister use to own her own shop. Now my wife cuts my hair. Thank God for ball caps! :laughing:

Man, you really dont wanna part that machine I guess. I thought the haircut would have been the deal breaker!!! How about a dollar a day forever? Your gonna make out in the long run with that one!

Listen, man, I hate to break it to you, but the reason he won't sell them is that then he'd only have four SA's for his juggling act, and that's not near as impressive as five.

I'll tell you tho, they are kind of a PITA! Have to run them every so often. I don't do enough welding to keep them all running, but I just can't part with them. I have 4-grandsons, I would love to teach them the trade. But they're more interested in video games

. Maybe I'll live long enough to see them get out of school, and learn you can't make a living flipping burgers!

So far I don't see a one of them as college material, so we'll see.

I hear you on that one, my only hope is for one of the local kids ive been helping. Hes in school now in Ohio, and hes struggling hard, I wish I could be there to help, but nothing in life comes easy, we all know that. I talk with him everynight at least. Ill pm you later bud, im out having tires mounted now, but got a few questions about engine drives.
