OVERVIEW

The Legend Continues: Tweco Classic #2 for Lincoln Welders

Experience the difference of a true classic with the Tweco Classic No. 2 MIG Gun, configured specifically for Lincoln Electric welding systems. If you are tired of struggling with flimsy stock guns or struggling to find comfortable ergonomics during long welds, the Tweco #2 is the upgrade you need. Known affectionately in the trade as the "Number 2," this 200-amp air-cooled gun combines a robust design with a comfortable, curved handle that fits naturally in the hand, reducing operator fatigue during extended arc-on time.

This model (1020-1144) comes ready to tackle the job with a 15-foot reach, giving you the freedom to work around vehicles, large frames, and assembly jigs. The backend is factory-fitted with a Lincoln connector, ensuring a secure and conductive fit into your wire feeder's drive block. It is pre-configured for .030-.035 inch wire, making it perfect for automotive repair, farm equipment maintenance, and light-to-medium structural fabrication. The metal-jacketed conductor tube is tough enough to withstand the heat and abuse of a busy shop, while the trigger mechanism is tested for hundreds of thousands of cycles.

What truly sets the Tweco Classic apart is the consumable system. It uses the heavy-duty Tweco 14 Series contact tips and adjustable 22 Series nozzles. These consumables are designed for optimal electrical conductivity and heat dissipation, resulting in fewer tip burns and smoother wire feeding. The slip-on nozzle design allows for quick spatter removal and easy access to the contact tip. When you choose the Tweco Classic No. 2, you aren't just buying a MIG gun; you are investing in a piece of equipment that has defined quality welding for generations.

FAQ

The Tweco Classic No. 2 is rated at 200 Amps at 60% duty cycle when using CO2 gas, and approximately 150 Amps when using mixed gases (Argon/CO2).

This specific model (1020-1144) is equipped with a Lincoln-style backend. It fits most industrial Lincoln wire feeders and compact welders that accept the standard Lincoln gun plug. Please verify your machine's manual for plug compatibility.

This gun comes factory installed with a liner and contact tip setup for 0.030" to 0.035" (0.8mm - 0.9mm) welding wire.

Yes, but you will need to change the steel liner to a nylon or Teflon liner to prevent wire shaving and feeding issues with soft aluminum wire.

It uses Tweco 14 Series contact tips, 22 Series gas nozzles (adjustable), and 32 or 42 Series liners depending on the wire size.

The cable is a coaxial design that offers a good balance of durability and flexibility, though 15 feet is generally the maximum recommended length for pushing soft wires to avoid feeding problems.

The liner is replaced from the rear (machine end) of the gun. You simply remove the gun from the machine, unscrew the liner retaining nut, pull out the old liner, and slide in the new one, trimming it to the correct length.
