Is that motor stronger than the original motor?

The feed motor in my HF MIG-180 seems designed for the original 6 ft stinger but the prior owner installed a 10 ft stinger. I generally set this welder on the floor to reduce the number of curves between the machine and the gun. This feeds smoother than with the welder elbow-high and tilted upward. A stronger feed motor would be a noticeable upgrade.

I do not know.
This site has other heavy duty wire feeders.
