I’m goingto post this query on a few welding forums in hopes of getting some info fromsomeone. I have a Miller Big 40 Welder. Ithas a 4 cylinder Continental 4 cyl gas engine and all of the decals for thefront panel / control panel are missing, probably due to its age.
I havecontacted Miller Customer Service for ANYTHING they could point me to fordecals or anything to help me out. Theyhave given me part numbers to order, one is a “decal kit” for about $50 andanother is a new “front panel” for about $150. Neither part is returnable. . . special order only,
I tried thefirst option, decal kit, and it’s nothing but the safety decals that are on theback of the machine. $50 shot, I askedthe customer service person if this had all the control decals and she said “it’sa decal kit for the model number and serial number” I gave her, period. She wasreally not at all helpful, not knowing what she was talking about. I tried to contact her again a few times andemailed her and got no response.
My questionto you folks that are reading this, do you or anyone you knowhave one of these welders that have the control decals or have a picture orwould take a picture and email it to me? I would be soooo in debt for the information. . .
Thanks manytimes in advance, I’ll be hoping. .. . . . .. …

Hey dave,
I just used the bing images search and found a bunch of them.Not knowing your mod year that all I can help you with.

Most would consider me a red guy.
However, regardless of Florida I consider myself color blind.
I don't know a Big 40 from the Back 40.

However, check out:

Perhaps you can cobble together what you need.
As gatorgrumpy suggested there are a lot of images on line.
Please let us know if you need more or different!

Daryl : check your PM
 
You might contact member 7A749 on Welding Web and see where he gets his decals and stuff. He rebuilds all kinds of miller equipment and restores them to almost new condition. He is a very stand up guy who may have the info you need or knows where to get it. I use the same username on WW so you can feel free to mention that I recommended him to you.

I used to be a Miller welding service technician, If I understand you correctly you do have the serial Number?
With that information you can determine the year it was made. First 2 letters designate the year of the machine. A=0, B=1 ect. except they skip the letter "I". as an example SN JD174023 was made in 1983. Unless it's older than a 1973. The Business where I used to work is located in St Louis, MO it's called Cee Kay Supply. I believe my old boss still works there, his Name is Mike Pyatt. The guy has an incredible memory, and If your other possibilities fail, Then Call the main store which is located on Manchester road, and ask for him. If the part you want is still available he'll find it for you. Mention my name, "Levi" and I bet he'll give you even better service.
 
Thats odd? I got mine from my local welding supply that carries Miller. Only need serial no. But a couple years ago!
 
Try and give this guy a call, maybee he can help you. About 4 years ago I tried to buy some Millermatic 200 decals from my local dealer and had no luck. I saw this store on FleaBay and theye were able to get them for me. I see they also sell reproductions.
