KP653-052S - Lincoln LN-25 Drive Roll Kit .045-.052 Solid Wire

Keep Your Lincoln Feeder Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating for a welder than a wire feeder that slips, stutters, or jams right in the middle of a critical pass. The Lincoln Electric KP653-052S Drive Roll Kit is your direct replacement solution for worn-out feeding components on your trusty Lincoln wire feeder. Designed to handle .045" and .052" solid wires, this kit is a must-have for fabricators running standard MIG setups on structural steel or heavy equipment repairs.

Perfect Fit for the LN-25 and LN-7

If you are running the industry-standard LN-25 suitcase feeder or the classic LN-7 shop feeder, this is the correct kit for solid wire applications in the medium diameter range. These feeders are workhorses, but their drive rolls eventually wear down from constant friction. Worn grooves lose their grip, forcing you to crank down the tension arm, which only deforms the wire and strains the motor. Installing a fresh KP653-052S kit restores that crisp, positive feed you need for a stable arc, allowing you to keep the tension settings optimal and the wire shape round.

What's in the Box?

This isn't just a pair of wheels; it's a complete refresh for your drive assembly. The kit includes:

• Two V-Groove Drive Rolls: Specifically machined to grip solid wire firmly without crushing it.
• One Guide Tube: Essential for guiding the wire from the spool into the rolls accurately.

The inclusion of the guide tube is a game-changer. Often overlooked, a worn guide tube can cut into the wire or cause misalignment that leads to drag. Swapping it out with the rolls ensures a straight, clean path for your consumable.

Built for the Job

Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, you rely on your equipment to perform. Lincoln Electric's OEM parts are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure longevity. The V-Groove design is specific to solid wire—do not use these for flux-cored wire (which needs knurled rolls) or aluminum (which needs U-groove). By matching the drive roll to your specific wire type and size, you eliminate feeding headaches before they start.
