I don't think your MM185 has the 14 pin switch to run a 30A spoolgun, but it will run the spoolmate gun. It's not as good, but it will work well most of the time.

I've used this combo many times when my boss was hogging the 30A, and it got the job done. It's about half the price, too.

the small millers have spoolguns for aluminum but it is a cheap one
here's the link http://www.millerwelds.com/products/wire_feeders/spoolmate_100_series/

the only problem is the duty cycle on those little machines

try the mm211 if you don't wanna spend $1000 on a spoolgun!
