I bought this Miller machine in 2014. This is the smoothest welding machine I have ever used. I use argon shielding gas for the best quality welds. The flux core wire does not make as nice of weld as you get using argon for shielding. Bart Millermatic 211 MIG Welder With Advanced Auto-Set...

I had to replace the entire instrument panel. The instrument unit cost around $600.00 from John Deere. All I had to do was unplug the old one and plug in the new one. Expensive fix but it all works now.
