[tonybalogna]

could a gasless mig welder be converted to a gas welder?

i have a lincoln electric weld pack 155, currently gasless. i was curious if i could convert it to gas welder to make cleaner and stronger welds

That is a quote from the Weld Pack 155 manual I linked to.

You can go on lincolnelectic.com site and search for the manual by model code.
