you sure it cant be? If it can there is usually a little NPT bung on the back and inside there would be a little port you have to add some hose to connect things up near the feed head. my old craftsman was flux and I just added a regulator I had laying around to it to convert it to gas. Might not have a silicone to control the gas on and off, but a simple knife style ball valve would be the manual way to do it to get by on the cheap. might be a pain doing tacks but long welds it would be ok. even if it doesnt just swap the lead and gun with a gas shielded one and rig it up. ---

Thats true never really had to open it up for anything. I picked up a Lincoln 140HD that replaced this one. SALE PENDING! ---

Any mig can be converted from FC to IG with the proper gun/lead and gas solenoid assembly. Just may have to drill a couple holes and open the case to get some wiring in. You can run the power for the solenoid off the drive spool motor power from the trigger. ---

Picking this up today! I’ve been using my dad’s lincoln electric but I want to really start getting into welding. Now I just need to close on this damn house so I have a garage to put it in…
