Welder/Generator

I had to pick up some small engine parts today and asked them about getting parts for the Onan engines. He said you can still get most of the parts you just can't buy engines and short blocks because they are no longer being produced. Both these welder generators run good now, if I end up getting one I will stock up on a few parts I might need later. I also wonder if another engine like Briggs, Kohler or Honda couldn't be made to fit if for some reason the engine was wore out or blown up?

He wanted $1500. But for me Looking at $1000. For either unit. The Lincoln has 400 hours the Miller doesn't have a hour meter.

I'm leaning towards the Lincoln, but I will run and weld with both before I buy.

I checked both welder generators out and I liked the quiet Miller but really liked the Lincoln G8000 ( it wasn't a Ranger 8 like I thought). They both ran great but I welded nice with the Lincoln so I bought it! It came with long leads. Just curious but what all can I do with this welder? What would it cost and what would I need to TIG weld? Thanks!
