(More customer reviews)What a waste. Poor assembly drawing with no instructions. The lack of instructions didn't bother me until I started assembly. I put the axle through the bottom shelf and pounded on the cheap wheel stops. You know the ones...they have teeth that grab the axle and can't be removed without tearing them up. Well, guess what? The rear uprights go between the wheels and the bottom shelf. I had to take a wheel off to remove the axle so I could place each upright where it belonged. Unfortunatly, I could not remove the wheel stop without tearing up the stop. I also messed up the wheel trying to pry off the wheel stop with a large screw driver. Now I had to replace the wheels - both cause you can't find a matching wheel. The wheels were so cheap anyway. They didn't have bearings and they were designed and built just like the wheels on a child's toy. So I bought two very nice wheels from Lowes and drilled a hole through both ends of the axle so I could use cotter pins to hold the wheels on. Now I've got the cheap pseudo-welding cart assembled and I try to attach the welder. This cart is supposedly designed for the 140/180C Linclon Welder (check Lincoln website). I had to use longer bolts in the front (the supplied bolts were too short) and the welder fit so tight against the handle that it was extremely difficult to attach. It was a wrestling match that I bearly won.
What a piece of junk! By the way I bought a 140C and the first one arrived with the lower front corner pushed in so you could not shut the access door completly - damage was not caused by shipping and handling. I sent it back and it was replaced with another unit that had the same door problem. This one did not have the corner pushed in, it just wouldn't catch. I was able to bend the sheetmetal so it would finally shut completely. Another piece of crap made by Lincoln. I can't speak for their large industrial welders, but the stuff they sell for the do-it-yourselfer is garbage - at least that is my limited experience.
