Default WTB: Used Millermatic 135

I'm looking for a good used Millermatic 135 mig welder. I'd prefer to find one locally (Muncie, Indiana) to avoid shipping, but would consider shipping if the price is right. If anyone has one or knows where I can find one, please e-mail me at nkopper@chsmail.org.

Thanks.

Good luck ... people get them and hang onto them like heirlooms ...

I attended a couple of local auctions where shops were liquidating their tools and inventory. People were paying $400-500 for beat up 110V rigs like the Miller or Lincoln. Crazy!

If you are just doing exhuast type stuff and thin 1/4" plate stuff 110 would be ok, if you doing heavier work or frame stuff I would get a 220. But stick with Miller name brand, their knock off stuff sucks

Yup, I bought my lincoln $135 amp box with intentions of keeping it for 20-30 years. They run $434 at Home depot. Pretty good deal.

I have the 220 Version of the 135 the 175, and I love it, its a GREAT welder well worth the money, check out ebay there are some compaines that sell brand new welders pretty cheap and they even ship for free

Yea, I know they are hard to find used. I was hoping to find somebody with one that was moving up to a 220v unit. Last summer I ran across a Millermatic 135 at a swap meet for $325. I didn't have the money at the time so I passed it up. Wish I could find another deal like that, but they are few and far between.

Just found out that the house we are buying has a 220v plug for a hot tub just outside the garage. Bonus! I might look into a Millermatic 175, but I need to decide if the extra few hundred $$'s is worth it.

I had the same thought when I bought my Lincoln 125, I also have a 220v stick welder so I went with the 125 instead of the 175. Now I like the mig welder over my stick weld so now I'm going to buy a Millermatic 175, should have bought it in the first place. JMO

We have a used Millermatic 135 for sale with the cart that goes with it. We're looking for $450 + shipping for it. It's in perfect working condition, we stepped up to a 275 so this one is just sitting here.

Let us know 973-340-4069
