Rock,I sold my MM 185 to the welding store,ard I bought a liner for it just before I made the deal.Anyway it does not fit,here is some info.
MM-185 s/n KJ288620
M-15 gun
New liner #194011 (.030-035)
It says it replaces 172-258
This is out of the 2003 welding componants & parts guide pg #59
Anyway the new liner does not fit the gun on the 185.It has a different back fitting on the new liner.The old one doe not have threads,and is larger in size.When you put the new one into the gun it is loose.Did somebody over look the older guns when they came up with the new liner style?The new liner say it fits all guns.I think the MM-185 is a 1988 model.
I thought I would try to make that welding machine weld nice for the next owner,so you can keep your good name.See I look out for you guys.
Also for Dan,I looked over a new 210 that was not smashed up,and on the front there is way more metal than I thought.When they are in one piece it kind of changes the way you look at things.It looks much better than I thought it did.It's fine,because it has steel backing up the plastic.
One last point on the other machine I looked at,the new SD 180 tig with the running gear.It looked much better than the Lincoln 175 tig,and even with the running gear it was cheaper than the Lincoln.The only thing I did not like is the ac/dc+/dc- switch.There is no detent for the ac position,and you just kind of guess if its in the right spot.It was pretty hard to turn,and I think you guys are going to replace some plastic handles on warranty.After the warranty is up though you should make money on them.
