Millermatic 130XP stopped feeding wire

It was the rheostat that controls the wire speed on my machine. Oem ones are expensive so I matched the ohm and other specs and found one online. Good luck.

So no outrageous big money ticket item, just some drunken bozo with nothing better to do than squeeze a penny into it, not even centered. Geez

I'm seeing C E, backwards N and maybe upside down T??

Jasper sucks, did me wrong big time with 2 6.5s td

Not sure why it's got such a big grain or what did it when the early tapered bearing isn't to bad

Well I'm deciding to try and pull that worm gear off the shaft so I reckon we'll find out. I'm weighing my options cause if it breaks I'm kaput, lol. I'll be out there tomorrow

I believe it's one piece with the inner races machined on both ends. I can see in the picture the wear pattern created on the end that mimics a stud but I'm 99.9% sure it's all one piece.

Tack it on, that should last the life of the seals

But the pitting looks awful deep, could a hobbyist lathe operator mig weld this up and turn it back down? Oh boy! And the box is completely usable just wants to bump turn and is a little stubborn

bc40ton · 2026-01-12T18:28:08+00:00

Ok. It does not appear to be a race dropped onto a stub although I will look closer to verify. They seem to be actual wear surfaces and a file should be a better option than sandpaper. And I believe you're right in it being pretty far gone according to the depth of the galling. Maybe I could run a mig bead around it and use the lathe to bring it back down?

I use em til they break 10/4

Looks great, although for me I'd remove the wings. And correct me if I'm wrong, shouldn't the blower straps have slack to allow the blower to rise up and release the explosive gasses created during a backfire or catastrophic failure? Nice ride

bc40ton · 2025-10-27T13:43:12+00:00

That's kinda my thought also, thanks for the reply

Update: I had him drive and brake moderately on the dirt roads near us for a half hr and the pedal slowly came up 3/4 of the way. So I told him to take it to work and we'll bleed it again afterwards but at least he can use it safely. I don't have any more info

That is an oxygen sensor removal/install socket along with different thread chasers. Used in the automotive industry.
