Welding machines are sturdy but even a Hobart welder will need to replace parts now and then.  When you’re looking to replace a certain part you can go to hobartwelder.com and click on parts. 

Then when you find the part you need, find your model number and order your part.  If you can’t find it from Hobart because your welder is too old, you might want to look at an auction site like ebay. You can get parts from different sellers, but like anything else make sure their ratings are good because you don’t want to buy something from them and then find out it doesn’t work.

Consumables like wire and CO2 are going to need replacing a lot more then other supplies like the spool gun and tips.  Replacement parts can be shipped to your location whether its your home or business. There are some things that you can change easily like a tip or a hose but if its complicated and you don’t know what you’re doing you should either bring it or ship it to a service provider of Hobart’s.  If it is under warranty you will not pay for any equipment that needs to be changed. 

Some of the items that you need to replace may come in a quantity of five, like the tips.  If you need it right away you may be able to get it in one business day if you’re ordering on-line.  This means if you order on Friday, it ships on Monday.  If your items are larger like a cutting torch or a stick gun you may have to pay an additional freight charge with some companies.

If you order a CO2 cylinder through the mail keep in mind that it will be empty. This makes it safe to handle.  If it was filled it could explode under the right conditions.  You will need to bring it somewhere to get it filled.  You can go to most sporting goods stores or home improvement stores to get them filled.  After about one year you will need to replace it just to be on the safe side.

Nothing lasts forever even with the best maintenance.  So check your machine regularly for any problems and get them fixed. This will possibly save you a lot of money in the long run.
