You'll like this one from my local newspaper better:

WELDER/Trailer, fairly new battery, not running, Hercules 6cyl engine,
50' leads, Lincoln 375amp. $600 or trade for decent Miller/Hobart/Esab
MIG welder. Heavy beastie. Bring a big truck to take it home. Larry,
(my phone number)

A guy showed up yesterday and said that if I got the motor unfrozen,
he'd buy it. Another guy was due over today, but never showed. He
lives 3 blocks up the street. g


For that low a price.,.the dickhead can unfreeze the motor himself!

My thoughts exactly, but I put the extra hour into it. I'll check
today if it stops raining. A funny little storm hit yesterday and
dropped BB-sized hail on us for an hour or so.

Are parts still readily available for the Hercules motor?


Gunner, pondering on where to get a mig to trade.....

Ideally, a Millermatic 185 like the guys at the body shop used to use.
'Tis a lovely little unit.

Then have Grant (or other Washingtonian) trailer it down on his way to
pick up some more machines from you, dropping off the MIG when he
returns. Sound like a plan?

Alternatively, I'd settle for a used mini-mill and mini-lathe. I still
can hardly find a place to set foot on an open piece of floor in my
shop. MINI is still the key word.
