MILLER BOBCAT 225g plus question

[Birddog1]

I Just purchased a new old bobcat 225g plus welder with 150 hours on it,still on the original bottom pallet still bolted to it? runs and welds as good as it looks,it still has the plastic on the faceplate..It has an onan 16 hp motor, when were these made? Did I make a good move by puchasing an older machine? Do they still make parts for them? Looks like a great old classic ? My gut told me to go for it! what do you all think?

Well fellas it ended up being a new old 1997 year model,w/ p216 onan engine its a real classic!i probably will never find another one in this life! Maybe someone on this forum can tell me if its ok to use quaker 5-50 synthetic oil year round in it being an older model or what oil should i use for year round service here in the northeast i am doing a pm on it soon only because its been sitting. Whats the deal?

5w-50 synthetic is what Cruizer recommends and it is what I am using in mine.

and get the numbers for the filters. NAPA and Advance crossed my filters
for my `89 legend with onan 218. Just did a complete tune up. Check the fuel lines
mine were shot. Found the fuel lines when I changed the fuel filter.
Hope this helps.

Use the serial # from the machine.

You can get anything you need for that Onan from member onanparts.com http://onanparts.com/. TJ also has engine service and parts manuals available as well.
