Miller Welder Onan Engine Specifications
Founded in 1929, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produces welding equipment in Appleton, Wisconsin. Miller Welders used Onan engines which were produced exclusively for its company's welding equipment and Lincoln Welders, another welding company. Today Cummins Onan no longer manufactures engines but still services Miller Welder Onan engines and provides replacement parts. The Miller Welder engines, like the Onan OHV 20, were built to strict specifications.
