Needing ESAB PMC-750i parts

[Jeep83845]

Torch lead on my PMC-750i was mangled in a logging equipment mishap, and looking for a replacement. Hoping someone here has a dead 750i that I could buy the torch lead off of for not too much.

Thanks

I don't have a cord to offer you, but depending on replacement cost it may be worth your time to retrofit a newer torch on that unit if its got the original PT-series torch. On my 750 I put a thermal dynamics SL60 1Torch on when the head on mine went (and replacing it was going to cost me almost $400 for just the head) vs spending like $375 for a BNIB 1Torch on eBay. After that made thinner kerfs and took about 2x as long to go thru consumables. YMMV.

greenbuggy, thank you for the info! Did you have to modify your 750 to allow the SL60 lead to work? Or was it a simple swap?

Jeep, there is an adapter available for your machine which allows the torch to connect. Check the link (page 33) for the right adapter and torch number. Depends which colour your machine is

Yeah with the adapter kit the worst I had to do was take the front panel loose and unscrew old cord and disconnect old connectors, connect adapter kit and then connect the adapter to the SL60 cord.

Ordering the adapter now, thanks for the help weldinON and greenbuggy
