Ran into a old WWII era engine driven Hobart arc welder, data plate says 300A @ 40v, driven by a 6 cyl flat head Chrysler picked it up for $100, if I can get it going it will be a steal, if not well its a sturdy trailer.
Supposedly it was used for pipe line welding back in the day, guy I bought it from has had it for 20 years ran until a few years ago had carb issues, we will see what time has done to it since then, motor is free so that is a start, I never seen such a simple engine,
anybody got any experience with anything like this? any chance I could find a schematic for the welder part of it?
