Dating a Licwelder DC225/3AS

[td5doug]

I inherited a Lincwelder DC225/3AS that the Onan engines needs some major work on. The plate on the welder says Type:K1192SM1 & Serial #1730. The tag on the engine is gone. I've looked at Lincolns web site, but these numbers don't match anything there. Can anyone date this machine from these numbers?.
Also I've been told that Onan is no longer being manufactured & parts availability is becoming scarce & $$$$. Has anyone found a direct replacement for the Onan on this particular welder.

One last Question, the 3KW of auxilary AC power says its @ 50Hz. Where these models built for the European market?, As Ac power in North America is 60Hz.

I don't know what year it is but I had a twin to it. 24 volt starting system thru the generator / welder. Mine was 60cycle. Sold it running for $250 about 3 years ago.

I rechecked the data on the front of the machine & the 50hz rating for the AC is at 3000 rpm, so 3600 rpm would make it 60hz. If my memory is working I think the rated rpm of the Onan is 3600.
From what I've been able to find the engine is a CCK model?, is this correct. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the CCK A & CCK B models??

Thanks for your help
Doug
