9ST9968-5 - Lincoln Electric Spindle Wing Nut for Wire Feeder Spools

Keep Your Lincoln Welder Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than getting ready to lay down a bead only to realize you've misplaced the small wing nut that holds your wire spool in place. The Lincoln Electric Spindle Wing Nut (9ST9968-5) is the exact replacement you need to get your machine back up and running. Whether you lost the original during a spool change or the threads finally wore out after years of loyal service, this genuine Lincoln part ensures your welder functions exactly like the day you bought it.

This isn't just a piece of plastic; it's the key to consistent wire feeding. The wing nut tightens against the spool (or the spacer), creating the necessary friction to stop the heavy spool from spinning when you let go of the trigger. Without it, your wire will unravel into a mess of tangles inside the machine, wasting expensive wire and your valuable time. Designed with large, easy-to-grip wings, you can swap out spools in seconds without hunting for pliers or a wrench. It fits perfectly on the spindle of many popular Lincoln compact MIG welders, including the Weld-Pak, SP-series, and Pro-MIG units often paired with the Magnum 100 gun.

Don't settle for makeshift fixes like duct tape or random hardware store nuts that might damage your machine's spindle threads. Using the correct OEM part guarantees the right fit and the right tension. It is an affordable, simple fix that belongs in every welder's spare parts kit. Keep one in your toolbox so you are never stuck without a working wire feeder when a project deadline is looming.
