Lincoln welder parts?

[Grandpa's tools]

Probably a real shot in the dark here, but does anyone have a good source for NOS Lincoln welder parts? I have a Montgomery Ward's Powr Kraft stick welder that is a re badged Lincoln (I believe model 180-T.) As seen in the pictures, this model uses push-in spade terminals for the ground and electrode leads. Further, according to parts lists I have found online, these were sold as a whole unit as opposed to being able to buy the ends themselves. Of course, no longer available from Lincoln. The spade end of my electrode lead has worked loose over the years, and finally came undone. Can anyone steer me in the right direction as far as parts or repair? Thanks for any help.

I bet that if you removed the clip and slide the cover back,you could probably repair it yourself. Depending on how it broke, you might have to solder it instead of crimping it.

looks fixable to me

Definitely fixable. If you can't do it somebody can. Looks like the spade is swaged onto the copper wire.

Thanks guys. I will give it a shot. I didn't know if I would be able to crimp that spade end back down on the cable enough again. Maybe solder will be the answer. Thanks again!
