BPEisenhower 524 #1 Posted January 29, 2022 Amazing what is being scrapped these days. Electric starter works, plenty of compression, spark and full of oil. Fuel tank half full of unpleasant smelling rejected furniture polish. Have not found anything indicating what model of Onan it is but it's heavy! Will need to replace the little mufflers with something quieter and with rain flappers. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,816 #2 Posted January 29, 2022 Kinda reminds me of this monster. My FIL gave it to me. I haven’t taken the time to fire it up yet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Engine looks like pictures of Onan CCK's that I've seen. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always preferred a LincolnArc, but I can always do a repaint. Nice unit and on a trailer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know anything about Onan other than it either runs or it doesn't. RVs used them for generators and parts are almost impossible to get and expensive 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,264 #6 Posted January 30, 2022 Can't tell for sure by the side view, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess its an AEAD-200LE. If it is they are great machines. Dad still has the one that Grandpa bought new in 1979, Dad learned to weld on that machine, as did I. Good job saving it and hopefully you can get it up and running again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an early version of the Miller Legend. 200 Amps AC/DC welding @3000 RPM and 5kW 120/240 VAC Generator @1860 RPM. The Onan model is on the engine ID tag. CCKA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,264 #12 Posted May 28, 2022 Dad finally broke down and decided he no longer needed the old Miller I mentioned above, and sold it to me. He delivered it today. Hasn't ran in about 8 years...fresh gas and a hot battery and she fired up like she had just ran yesterday. Super excited to have the welder I learned how to weld with. @BPEisenhowerhave any luck getting yours running yet? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
