powermate welder parts

[6wheeler 668]

I need some help from you welding guys. I just aquired a Powermate gasless wirefeed welder. It is model #117032. Ser. #C584959. What I need is a trigger switch for the gun. I works pretty well (I hotwired what was left of the switch, do not try this at home). It feeds well and strikes a good arc. I don't know who made them, Lincoln I think. I think they were maybe sold as Coleman welders but, mine just has Powermate on the front of it. I would appreciate any help for this. Thanks Pat

The model number shows up as a CRAFTSMAN.... Not sure on the serial number $50 for the switch

Perfect, thanks for the help. I just ordered it and it will be here by Friday. All of the members on here are just the best. I have gotten so much help on here. I cannot even begin to express my thanks enough . I don't know how you found it KC9KAS, but thanks. I've been looking for 2 days . I should have just asked here. When will I learn . Pat

You are welcome....I just hope that is the right one!

KC9KAS, thanks again. The switch came yesterday. It is the right one AND the only part left available for that welder from Sears. It came in a Lincoln bag so I can get parts from Lincoln. It is a little tricky to get the wire to feed right . It is a little tangled on the spool. I think longer tips will help as well. It welds, Albeit nothing heavy. But I think it will do well on exhaust repairs. I think there is a gas kit for it too. I don't like flux core. I just can't seem to make it well cleanly. Since there is no amp. adjustment on this particular box, I will just have to learn to be a better welder with it . Pat

I too like the gas feed migs better than the flux core wire.

Glad you got the part you needed.
