Mig gun....

[~X~]

Well I found another mig welder and bought it. Its a Millermatic 35, cool machine and I have heard lots of good reviews. I was getting by with my 115v machine for body work and exhaust but I needed something bigger for frame related welding chores. The machine is fine but the gun has seen better days. To get to the point, I want to replace the gun and hose and need some help finding out what fits this machine. My local shop has Tweco guns on sale right now and I also heard these were good. Anybody know what guns fit properly or what is the best value? Thanks, ~X~

Tweco guns are great, I have one on my Snap-on YA-217. Standard lincoln tips and cups at home depot fit them.
I can't find Millermatic 35 anywhere, I'm assuming you mean a 135 or 350?

Tweco is a good brand, and it's easy to change
the gun. That brand is what most welding supply
stores carry cause you can get the tips and nozzles
for um.

Welder and Jake. Thanks for the input on the Tweco guns. My main question I guess would be which Tweco guns fit the 35? Was hoping to hear from someone who knows whether Miller ever changed their connection type after this machine was made. This link shows them first being made in the early 70s and some info I have found shows them still being made in the 80s. http://millerwelds.com/about/1971.html
A welder/fabricator I work with has one as well as a guy who does some welding projects for me at work. I'll let you know what I find out from them.

Tweco is the way to go!
Unless your in a bind 240v is the only way to go MIG or Stick!
Either Lincoln (You do pay for the Name) or Miller (Just as good and a little less $$$) you never regrete buying one or the other.
