See if this works for you. The Ground drive system takes two springs PN: 149412 and PN: 176624 both are called spring Drive. The mower deck also takes two springs, PN: 179479 Primary spring drive and PN: 174371 Secondary spring drive. Please note, these numbers are referenced from Craftsman's owner's manual for model No. 917.276320. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

I'm really not sure what you mean by the rear gear down pulley but see if this helps you on a visual of the rear drive pully which is under the fan blade I remove in this video. If not, again I'm not sure. Here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcuWrMqH25jVqo0.html Thanks for watching.

Hello @zealotproductions. I'm glad it's helping you out. Let me know how it works out for you. Thank you for watching.

Hello ToneyMann, Thank you for your comment. The Size for each of the belts are shown at the following times: 3:21 / 11:13 / 12:37. I hope this is what you are referring to in your comment and I hope this helps you out. Thank you watching.

I hope it works for you. I'm sure it will. Thank you for watching.

Hello @gwlane5509, To be honest I bought most all of the parts from Amazon. The fuel tank replacement which I did not video was bought off of craigslist, just a lucky find on that one. Thank you watching.

Thank you, Ana, thank you watching.

I’m working on mine right now. I’d say it should be tight. The spring from that bracket broke on mine. Still trying to find a replacement spring….headache

Hello Zachary, I just use a wire brush to remove the coating as best that I can. I also wear a mask under my hood and open my garage door for this type of welding. The coating is really bad for us. Thanks again for watching.

Hello Zachary, Thanks for your comment. The gauge thickness on that tube is 7ga (0.1793"), the nut is just a basic flange nut. I really don't have the specs for it other than its a 5/16-20. I hope this helps you. Thank you for watching

I use a piece of Mig gum liner to hold my welding rods, it helps me a lot with the thin wire I normally use.

Fantastic! this will be a fun and challenging ride to do. Thank you for watching!

Hello John, it’s a Lincoln 225 precision, it is square wave. Fantastic machine.

Hello @108bud99 if you contact me through my email, I will share that information with you so you can have as a reference. I agree with you, there is not much information out there on these great machines.

@@albertoguerrero5362 I've got an idea for a combo Rocket stove /smoker / Blackstone that we're going to build. I'll keep you up to speed as we go forward..I'll need a log splitter too. I need to split the wood before we put it in the rocket stove..

@@johnmccarthy6451 Yes, I can see that to be a good build. Keep me informed, I would like to see it. Thanks again John!

@jamesplyons8782, thank you watching.

@danielsaavedra8729 your welcome, I hope this solved your issue, so far it has solved mine. Thank you for watching.

Thank you! Thanks for watching.

@@albertoguerrero5362 I think that there are multiple .pdf manuals available from Miller on the Miller Vintage welder. I think the .pdf manual I emailed to you has even more than the an earlier version that I already had. My Miller Vintage was made in 1999 by all their records and it seems in good condition. I'm working away at getting up to speed.. Thanks again Alberto for your help. John Mc

Im glad it helped you. Thanks for the awesome video comment.

Hello MigUser101. The Mig Gun model is a Trafimet T-Plus 25 with a 12ft Lead. Its a quality Gun. I hope this helps you. Thanks for watching.

Hello @leftoversandcake, No, no fuses were blowing. The bike electronics would just shut off completely on me with no warning and while I was riding, very scary on the freeway. As of this replacement of the main circuit breaker the bike has not shut down on me at all. Was this the fix? Im not sure, but so far it is working. Thank you for watching!

Hello John, good to here from you. Keep in mind that these are just approximate values and will vary from machine to machine. Per the millermatic caliculator recomendations for .030 wire and 16 ga. sheetmetal it is recommended as follows: 250-340 IPM (wire speed) and 17-18 V ( 75/25 mix gas). This is just a starting point and you will have to adjust from there as necessary. I hope this helps. Also you may wnt to verify your miller is set at the Low Voltage setting as well (inside the panel). The outside tap on mine is #4, may be different on yours.

@@albertoguerrero5362 Albert thanks for the heads up. I've a few more things to check. I did get some beads laid down last night which is starting to improve. I'm only practicing with 16 ga and 0.030 wire presently. I've a 75/25 Gas Mix too. My dials don't give me IPM but a function of 1-100 and the voltage is 1-6. I did note the internal switches inside the drive roll bay too.. I'm getting there. "Life's a marathon not a sprint!" ~ Anon!

@@johnmccarthy6451 Thats the beauty of these old machines, Reference the following as approximate and a starting point to help you out. Regarding the Dial for the wire speed. 0-10 (50-124 IPM), 10-20 (124-198 IPM), 20-30 (198-272 IPM), 30-40 (272-346 IPM), 40-50 (346-420 IPM), 50-60 (420-494 IPM), 60-70 (494-568 IPM), 70-80 (568-642 IPM), 80-90 (642-716 IPM), 90-100 (716-790 IPM). Regarding the Tap Switch 1=(13v), 2=(15v), 3=(16v), 4=(17v), 5=(18v), 6=(22V). All at the low voltage setting. Again, these are approximate values and not exact.

@@albertoguerrero5362 Thank you ever so much for these notes. I've never seen these referenced anywhere. I do have a .PDF Manual for the Miller Vintage but I'm going to find a printer that can create a double sided copy for me and I'll put your notes inside my ring folder for going forward. I now have I another question, what would be the high voltages at the high setting (if) you happen to have them? Do you have, other web forums where there are lots of Miller Vintage users, that I can garner knowledge from too?

@@johnmccarthy6451 You will not find them anywhere, yes I will share.

Hello @Sova-Arccaptain, I would, but currently I do not own an Arccaptain. Thank you for watching.

@@albertoguerrero5362 Thankyou for your reply. I can provide you with a free Arccaptain machine.

@@albertoguerrero5362 I think it's a Miller Spoolmatic 30A spool gun with WC-24 accessory? Does that sound right?

@franciscovasquez7541, my apologies for this delayed response. Try weldmart.com this is where I bought the mig gun for the mm35. It's a Trafimet T-Plus 25 with a 12ft Lead. Thank you for watching.

@@albertoguerrero5362 I appreciate your response despite the delay and that you took the time to respond; thanks.

@@franciscovasquez7541 I apprecite that. Thank you.

@@johnmccarthy6451 I did not. The one listed for $1500 at the time is sold. I missed it by going down the welding equipment rabbit hole to do research.

@@albertoguerrero5362 Albert what sort of projects have you thought of creating? How about getting some drawings and welding up a trailer and putting lighting circuits on it? Having a trailer for pulling 4x4 Honda Quad or a snowmobile/ log carrier/ lumber carrier might be a good idea. If you have access to a CAD program you could create a cutting list and weld up a nice useful tool that you could use for moving stuff around, etc. I can't wait to get my welder.. I'm still looking!

Hello Tom Dennee , yes the music is pretty cool. Thank you for watching.

Hello John McCarthy, The Millermatic Vintage is a fantastic machine and very serviceable (but I don't see that happening, this is a well-built USA machine). I purchased mine about 11 years ago as a novice as well, and I have never regretted the purchase. Mine actually came with the Bernard gun you see in the video, and consumables are readily available. Parts (if needed) like the Drive Rolls for example, reference www.millerserviceparts.com as one of several sources out there. Service (If ever needed), weldmart.com services these older machines. Is it Heavy (225lbs approximately)? Yes. However, it's a gentle giant and rolls beautifully. Is it a good welder to start with? I don't see why not I did, and I have no regrets. As you become familiar with the type of machine, you will appreciate its value. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Best Regards, Alberto

@@albertoguerrero5362 Thanks for the info.. I'm trying to build a nice (yet in expensive BBQ smoker. These cost a kings ransom these days. I saw the "The Other Finnish Guy" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orqYnLGEsNOzZo0.html that would make the end discs for the BBQ and with an affordable welder I could do a professional job with a few simple tools. Can one get a spool gun to learn to do aluminum welding too? It is better than paying $4000 for a BBQ. I'll subscribe too. Thanks for the input for me and for the KZfaq welding noobies!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

@@albertoguerrero5362 I was watching this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK2YhtJpl7O0aYk.html & I was wondering if your Miller Vintage could do full on Aluminum welding without a spool gun? I mean buy a new gun equip it with a graphene feeder tube and be able to directly weld (without a spool gun) on your machine? The Hobart 140 welder really was at it limits doing the aluminum welding in the video link above so, even from watching that video I can see immediately I need a welder than will need a 240 volt supply which suggests the Miller Vintage class of machine. There's an old carpenter saying of "Measure three times cut the wood once," which comes to mind. I've seen a Miller Vintage for sale but it's in the mid-west (lots of cost on shipping) but I'm sure another Miller Vintage will come up soon. I've already started planning the installation of a 240volt drop in my garage. Have you done any aluminum welding with your Miller Vintage and how do you go about it? Do you have an alternate MIG gun setup or just a spool gun? If you have any videos of you doing aluminum welding with your Miller Vintage?

@@johnmccarthy6451 My Millermatic is not set up to do Aluminum welding at all and I really do not plan on that option. Any aluminum welding, I do with my Tig Welder. Thanks for sharing the video. It does looks to be an easy setup and a doable process per the video. I hope you find that welder (MM Vintage).

@@albertoguerrero5362 I'm trying to find my MM Vintage closer to home than the Mid-West at the moment. It is good to know that I could get to weld aluminum with MM Vintage though. Thanks again for your feed back!
