Nice welder. I am an apprentice. I clicked on the video because I saw the HOBART welder. I am using the 210MVP (belongs to my boss) easy to use and works all the time. For personal use I am considering buying the machine you have. Good review, thanks a bunch.👍👍
I used this Hobart 140 as a body man for over 10 years and never had it over heat nor did any of my associates when they used it. This is a great MIG welder. Good job explaining pros and cons.
I also got the 140 around the time you did. More than paid for itself. My garage has only 15 amp service and I didn't feel like pulling 12 ga. to rewire it, so I use my 5500 watt generator with a 25 ft.,12 ga. extension cord. Works great.
This video helped me finalize my decision to buy the hobart. Spent half a day reasearching, reading specs and watching videos and found this to be the best for my needs with the amount of welding I plan to do with it.
@@ELKMotorsports I bought about a week ago. It is a good welder! Welding cart was the first project. Small world story, I just moved to Az right in the same valley as Zuke motorsports. Been planning it for years. Im a mechanic and I was looking at craigslist for Jobs in the area about four months ago, and they had an ad to hire a Suzuki mechanic. Then 3 months later I was doing welder reasearch and saw the Zuke hand written address on your background in the video. So weird man! Always liked the Samurai; cool that people still make aftermarket for them. They are so classic now. I have a fj80 landcruiser that I will building many parts with my new welder.
This machine is really good. Very solid machine. Runs Flux Cored wire really well. Even weld stainless steel and aluminum with this machine. It's not just a machine for small jobs. It can handle good work. Nothing like production level work but home shop or traveling welding machine it's amazing actually. Make sure the settings are setup properly and it's going to run good looking strong welds. Watch your technique for push VS pull and wire /gun angle too.! I love my Hobart Handler 140 amp machine. Don't hesitate if this is in your price range.! Well worth the price. Run it without Gas anywhere using Flux Cored wire on electrode negative! Takes gas for solid wire, stainless, or aluminum welding. This machine can get you started on Flux without additional costs up front as well.. 👌🏻
Great vid man! You described that welder perfectly. I used to have that exact welder, i burned over 200lbs of wire in it while i had it, never skipped a beat. I eventually upgraded to a knock off of a lincoln 210 that is 220v or 110v, does dc tig and arc as well. Very happy with this new machine. Any body who buys the hobart 140 will definitely be happy with it...Great machine!
Hobart Brothers was family-owned and operated until its acquisition by Illinois Tool Works (ITW) in 1996. ITW is a multinational manufacturer of a diversified range of value-adding and short-lead-time industrial products and equipment, and is also the parent company of Miller Electric Mfg. I just bought the Hobart 190 ..
I bought a Hobart Handler 140 13 years ago from Northern Tool and it's still going strong! I don't regret my purchase either. I even upgraded it so that it accepts a spool gun. I bought the kit from B&R Welding. Works flawlessly. I think you made a good choice! Mine has the purge feature on it with only 4 heat settings. My welder also came with the Miller M-10 gun as well. There are a lot of Miller parts that interchange with the Hobart. Do a little research and you'll be surprised. Great review by the way!
1Crazee_J, you put a spool gun on it!!! That's awesome, I actually really love my 140, I'll look into that kit you got so I can share it with everyone.
ELK Motorsports yes I did! Look up B&R Welding on RUclips. They have several videos showing the installation and links to their website. Check it out man! Good luck and happy welding brother!!!!
If you decide to upgrade your welder later down the road, you can transfer that spool gun adaptor to your newer 220 volt unit providing it's either a Milller or Hobart.
I picked up this thing's predecessor the "150". In a nut shell I got duped. I need to repair it and I'm having trouble source parts.... So I wanted to splurge and pickup something new and healthy to get a feel for how the 150 should be working if I repair it properly. Your presentation is awesome and ya got me convinced, so I'm picking on of these guys up. Thanks, Elk! ;)
Got the Hobart Handler 140 and it's a great machine for 110 volts. Had a Zuk which is like a mountain goat out here in Arizona but with no air conditioning 118 degrees is a bit too hot in the summer so sold it and looking for a 3rd gen 4Runner p.s....... Just read your door a bit better. Camp Verde, Neat. We are in Desert Hills near New River
Just got this welder and used it for the first time. Overall very simple setup out of the box. Was welding withing 10 minutes of opening it up. I chose this welder for the obvious reason stated in your video....it runs on 120v AC and I needed to do welding remote from utility power. I am using a Champion 4000 generator and its just a bit underpowered. The welder gives the genset all it wants and you can tell the voltage drops as the weld effectiveness drops off. I might need to upsize my genny.
This is by far the best review video. I wasn’t sure about this welding machine now I’m pretty sure to get it it’s just what I need you have one more subscriber here keep up the great videos
I have owned a Hobart Handler 150 that I bought used in 1993 for $375. 240V only 30% duty at 130A and it has worked great but just stopped working on 12 01 2019. It is at Air Gas getting repaired. If it can not be fixed I WILL buy another Hobart it is a strong machine and worked perfect for me. It was my first welder.
Update the welder checks out good works perfect but did find out the plug at home was wired wrong both breakers on some leg. I fixed it so back to welding again.
Mitch Doing Stuff, that's great!! Yeah they just found out at work that I can weld and now both of my machines are at there huge shop. Going to have to start filming there, lol.
Miller and Hobart are not the same, but owned by same company (or Miller, cant remember) and they do share some parts. i just bought a week ago the latest model of this welder. fiddled with it but not used yet i am an experienced welder, autobody is my industry. this will handle anything on a car up to and including the frame. it will handle spring pads and shock mounts on a solid axle with ease. this also will do the weld in bungs for making your own steering rods for 4x4 fab. great vid thanks for taking the time to make and share.
Yeah, the 210 would be good if you plan on doing any aluminum, but I'm going to try and make it so it can take the spool gun and do up to 1/8" aluminum with the 140.
Good choice for DIY on the Rig. Your discription is very good to make decision about the right welder. I like the drive assembly in metal too! Another very good feature is the easy way to change the polarity if you go out of gas and have a spare fluxcore Wire. 10 Minutes worktime is enough for the most weldings on a Rig. That you have taken the trouble to one of the important tools for the conversion and repair of a Rig - it help a lot. Best regards
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, that was what I was hoping to achieve. Kinda help those who are just looking at getting into welding, know what to look for.
ken Bullock, I hear you. While I really can't recommend one process over another. You really need to think about what you're trying to achieve. Both processes allow you to weld just about anything short or magnesium and titanium. The consumables on stick are a lot cheaper than MIG. And stick is a little bit more difficult to get down than MIG. But with that said, stick is great because it really preps you for TIG and you learn so much while your welding. You can also weld outside in the wind, wet, dirt and grim. MIG will be more aesthetically pleasing faster, but requires a lot more prep to the work piece, expensive consumables, and a more controlled environment. I hope this helps.
Great review . You broke the tie between my choices of The Hobart handler 140 , and the Eastwood Mig 135 . For just $150 more than the Eastwood . I think the Hobart/Miller matic 140 is a better built machine !
Lol. Just picked one up today before seeing this video. Same mig pliers too. I’ll be flux coring though. Bottle rentals are too expensive. At least for the non money making hobbiest. Sweet vid.
monkeybutttt1, yeah. I just ran across the receipt for my initial bottle of Argon for the TIG and it was $220. But it's only about $40.00 to have it filled. They just get you on the inital investment.
jmaedl027 jmaedl interesting, I'll have tio look into that. I just know that bottles that are used fire welding gases are stamped and labeled. If it's just for oxygen it's no big deal.
So I'm new to welding. Just wanting some clarification. So can you weld Aluminum with this without the spool gun if you adjust the preload on the rollers correctly?
Brother I love your video it’s very well explained thanks are you in Arizona the 928 area code on the back it’s a door with it I also in Arizona Yuma to be exact
Can anyone tell me if this a decent machine for handrail and gates? I'm so used to using a shop machine that I am apprehensive about pulling the trigger on this hh 140.
Do you weld in your shop? How do you protect your garage from it burning? A guy on FB is selling it for 300 and I want to start welding at hone to practice for work
Juan Melendez, yes I do weld in the garage. My floor is concrete, if that is the concern about welding. The sparks really don't fly far. Just like in a shop, don't have any flammable close to where you're welding, keep it clean and swept. Really just good housekeeping will eliminate 99% of your fire hazards.
Only thing you'll need to do is switch the ground lead and roller visiting leads around, as they are setup for flux core welding out the box. And they don't make a .024 contact tip, but you only have to use the .030 contact tip.
You can weld stainless with a MIG machine, but it requires a tri gas mix and stainless wire. And if it's going to be pipe, you will need to purge the inside of the pipe with an inert gas, like argon, so that would be another bottle of gas and another regulator. But it really depends on what it is your going to be welding. I've welded stainless with this MIG using regular mild steel wire and its welded fine. To note though it was any high quality stainless steel and the weld, unless painted will rust. And with pipe, on the inside the weld will crystallize.
Cary Christian, I'm not entirely sure, I've never run it through my MIG machine. Should be a problem tio get that info at the welding supply store. But with this welder your going tio need to get a lead with a different type of liner in it as to not damage the aluminum wire. Sorry, I hope this helps.
Well no, not at all. You actually don’t even need a Teflon line ether for the MIG gun. But you run into more obstacles by not using a spool gun. Without a spool gun you are forced to keep the MIG gun and cable almost completely straight, and I mean not even a dip in the cable that usually happens coming off the cart. A normal liner would have to be so clean that it would have to be damn near new, you don’t want any steel powder residue from the ER70S-6 or Flux core wire that you normally would be using. The roller tension would have to be just enough to feed the wire and no more so you don’t crush it, so the shorter the cable the better. You also don’t want any tension on the spool adapter, as to not require a lot of Drive roller tension. And the distance from the Drive roller to liner required would need to be almost non existent to further aid in preventing bird nesting the soft aluminum wire. So no you don’t need a spool gun, but with the amount of Setup and trail and error it would be far more efficient to just run a spool gun. You can convert the Handler 140 to run the spool gun you will just be limited 1/8” thick max and it couldn’t be very big ether as aluminum dissipates heat twice the rate of steel.
Yes, only thing is, the samurai sheet metal is very thin. So you need to do low amps and allow for cooling down between tacs. Or if you are going to replace with another piece of metal just overlap and use a little thicker sheet metal for the repair.
yes you can. use 023 wire for body work. hell, can use 023 wire for everything on a car or truck body and frame repairs. not for building bridges or tanks :P
good review ,i'm a welder fabricator by trade and you are correct the 190 is more versitile machine , the 140 is a nice machine in its own rights though, now quit putting off that head gasket,lol
Oh it's off, this video was done a few weeks ago, and I just had it in the bank. I actually ran into a surprise with the cylinder head gasket. That video will be next week. Hope your ready!
I have the entire turbo kit off now. I just need to clean it up and film it. So that will probably be the next after head gasket. You'll see what I've gotten myself into here soon lol. If you follow me on Facebook, you can see what I'm talking about. Www. Facebook.com/ELKMotorsoorts1

Just like in a shop, don't have any flammable close to where you're welding, keep it clean and swept. Really just good housekeeping will eliminate 99% of your fire hazards.

Only thing you'll need to do is switch the ground lead and roller visiting leads around, as they are setup for flux core welding out the box. And they don't make a .024 contact tip, but you only have to use the .030 contact tip.
