Century 230 v ac dc stick welder please help

[Jereny]

My friend gave me a century 230 v ac dc stick welder. It had been taken apart I've gotten it all back together except for the heat sink and diodes. For the life of me I can't figure out how to wire it up. I've looked at the wiring manual on line It just confuses me more.

First post the model number. might be 110-xxx
with that I can look up all information that is available.
In short the DC circuit from the terminals to the diodes. neg to neg plate and pos to pos plate. one of these will have an inductor in series. Inductor will have an iron core and only two leads. The AC wires go to the AC terminals and the ac terminals on the diodes plates. Unless the ac has a high and low jacks. then they might have their own leads from the transformer.
Your will find the model number in one of two places. either on a sticker on the back or on the front of the welder. There will be a line of text that will have the welder specs and model number at the end.
Depending on what books you have found. you can take the model number and go to Lincoln electrics web site. and under support you will find the parts tab.
It will bring up the service navigator select enter as guest. then enter the model number in the code number box. Or select the button to the left of the box and it will bring up pictures of welders. select the century box and find your welder.
