Thanks moonrise and sberry for the breakdown and info, these questions definatly can cause alot of debate in the end I just want to be sure i am being safe and not running the risk of starting a fire. I honestly dont no the differnce in outlets but for the sake of easyness id like to keep the...

Thanks everyone for the replies, I suppose ill switch out my breaker get some cord and give it a try, as it seems parts and info are pretty much obselete for this machine but if it still works why not fix it, anyone know about how thick you can weld with 170a? My 110v 140a lincoln honestly...

Hey I have an old marquette mig welder that was tossed by a company because the wire feed motor wasn't working, anyhow I fixed the motor but the cord was cutoff when the welder was thrown out, it looks like from what is left it was 14-3 I want to put a 15-20ft cord on it but I'm not positive on...

Panel is pretty far from compressor in basement of the house.

I have a half spool of black 10-3 black stranded wire to run from the compressor to the outlet as long as it will work with no problems i just need to go buy a plug.

ok pics are now bigger :thumbup: looks to be a 50a 14-50 by the link posted im still not real sure on specifics tho, in my fuse panel the circuit is also protected by 2 60a breakers is this correct
