Check the wire feed roller (on the miller) before you sell the Lincoln. If previous owner cranked the wire tension down too much the bronze bushings inside will be egged, shaft has a gear silver soldered on.

I successfully removed the gear, made a new shaft & bushings but if you're not looking for a project the new wire feed motor is $$$$$$

The next models used a much larger bushing/shaft.
 
I have the same machine, bought it new. If you're going to run fluxcore make sure you buy the knurled wheel if it doesn't already have one.
The book is probably on line but I have the book if you need any info.

I have to say the little Lincoln has done well. Owned it since 2007.
It has suicidal tendencies though. It has leaped off the top of a combine twice and smashed up, and I have beaten it back to shape and glued the plastic face plate together. The hinge for the panel covering the spool was smashed on the first attempt and I pop riveted a hinge onto it. Then I dropped something on the gun and it is held together with tape. So the guy bring up New Blue wants it for $300. That'll do it.
My wire feeder on the 400 amp machine is a Millar 22A. I have always been pleased with it's feed system. I'm hoping that this one is 1/2 as good. The Lincoln is all plastic except the rollers, but yet it has never quit.
According to Ray, this is brand new and was never used, so I'm not worried about abuse, and I never run Flux core. Mostly .023 and on the big machine I use.035
