My boss just went to nevada to buy tools at an auction.
He was allowed to buy before it started, called me and asked if i wanted a lincoln 175 for $500. I said hell yes and he bought it, he also picked up for himself a lincoln mig 250 for $600.
My instructions say 1997, i dont know what year it is. Looks almost new, and works perfect
It's not an advanced squarewave like the 185, but it does aluminum damn good.
Let me know how that thing welds, they are bad ***.
How size bottle do you have for it? I called some places around town about the 185 they told me $1680, with cart, torch, stickholder, gauges and regulator.

Another big Lincoln Electric Fan here. I've been to both their Basic and Advanced Motorsports welding schools, and I have a Square Wave Tig 255 at home :-) (Bought it used through a friend at Lincoln Electric. It used to be Chip Ganassi Racing's welder)

You can do ANYTHING car related with a syncrowave 250, or a Dynasty 200DX.
I flat out dont like Lincoln. We had a precision TIG 350 here, and it was the LARGEST pile of a welder I have used in a long time. We have an old miller 1975 Dialarc HF, and the repair man was seen the most when the Lincoln was in use. The old miller just kept on chuggin.
You cannot beat a dynasty 200 DX. 2700 for a runner package and all the options. They flat out rule.
Ive said it before, and Ill say it again, harlan has a Miller syncrowave 180 SD, and he has done everything he has ever needed to do with that. Those are bulkier, but run in the 1400-1800 used/new on ebay.
Some things to consider- If you plan on doing a lot of aluminum work, go for something with squarewave technology. The highdollar options in the miller line are for the aluminum settings. Pulse, Balance, Hz, ect.
Other than that, you really need to sit down and plan out what you need to do, and what you might do. you can grow into a welder, you cant grow out of a smaller one with out paying for it
