Converting oil cooled welding machine to generate ac 220

How do you convert an oil cooled welding machine to generate ac 220 volts

Someone told me that I can use an oli cooled welding machine to generate ac power using batteries and solar panels

The why don't you ask the person that told you this?

Welcome to ETO!
Depending on the welder design you might, in principle, be able to use it as the basis of a DC-to-AC inverter. Such a project is not for the faint-hearted. There are numerous threads about problems people experience when trying to make inverters.

Ohh okay Thanks for the information
How do I convert it to be an inverter
Do I use one of the Amp output as DC input

The only oil filled welders I have seen have just been transformers with some means of stabilising the current. (Magnetic shunts or added inductance.) There is a remote possibility that an inverter welder could be converted to convert DC to AC but I think it would be more expensive than buying an inverter. The fact that you think you can use a transformer with DC indicates that your electrical knowledge is far too limited to even consider designing the modifications to an inverter welder.
