Its alive!!! 1943 Hobart gasoline welder...update
On Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:55:27 -0700, the infamous Gunner Asch
scrawled the following: http://picasaweb.google.com/gunnerasch/HobartGasWelder# http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15299718135618 http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15280034888082 Nada. http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15264015202514 Ah, the pics! What's with the bubblegum in pic 5? Are your arms all UVed tonight? I saw bare armed welding in there. tsk tsk tsk Hey! What's that _green_ stuff in front of your house? It wasn't there in July. http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15330663814994 http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15326046218002 Zero pics, dude. Now Ive got to get a good battery, clean up all the wiring (carefully..its 70 yrs old), repaint etc etc...G I LIKE this welder. I burned probably a pound of rod today farting around, overhead, vertical up, down, sideways etc etc....marvelous what this machine can do. Its got a far cleaner and easier arc to work with than any of my other stick welders, Ranger 9, ArcoDialarc 250 etc etc. Muahahahaha!!! Congrats. Now if I ever get the Miller 55G back from the guy who is slowly rebuilding it..... You'll what, use it or sell it? -- May those who love us, love us; And may those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts; And if he doesn't turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping. --old Gaelic blessing |

What's with the bubblegum in pic 5? Are your arms all UVed tonight? I saw bare armed welding in there. tsk tsk tsk Hey! What's that _green_ stuff in front of your house? It wasn't there in July. Thats rather odd. I had two sections with the Hobart welder pics. One of them seems to have flown the coop. As for the green stuff...thats what we have in winter time.. In summer time..it all dies and stays brown until late fall. Of course..that 105-115F tends to have something to do with it. One can..can run sprinklers at night..but the soil here is poor..tends towards sandy clay here in the high desert....so I irrigate the grapes, the trees and let the spring grass die out in the cactus gardens. In the picture from the back of the welder..one can see my old black Mazda/Ranger and one of the Wells-Cargo containers in my side lot..and Im going to have to attack it with the weed wacker this weekend..its grown about 2' tall and in just a couple months..it will be 24" of FLAMMABLE dead and dried grass.. The orange boat is my 85 AMF Force 5 sail boat. Ive got a Hobie 16 tucked away in the side yard and the 22' Ensenada is out at a friends ranch. http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15330663814994 http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...15326046218002 Zero pics, dude.

Now if I ever get the Miller 55G back from the guy who is slowly rebuilding it..... You'll what, use it or sell it? I dont know yet. Ive got 3 gasoline powered welders now...the Miller is being rebuilt..but it and the Ranger 9 are MIG compatable...though Ive got a Cobra "Brute" wire feeder I could stick on any of the three. Water cooled mig feederr..with a 400 amp torch...G Been using it for Aluminum on one of the old Miller35s Ive got in the welding shop. The old Hobart so far has cost me $69. $60 for a pair of 16" used tires, mounted and $9 for gasoline...oh...and $1.50 for the car wash Hell..I could donate it to the oil museum http://www.westkern-oilmuseum.org/ And visit it every day..pull it in the Oildorado parades this year with one of the Dart or White trucks they have restoredG Though to be fair..this welder was said to have come off a Liberty ship and was made before 1945 according to Hobart http://lariverrailroads.com/oil_trucks.html Gota love it! Gunner "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity. This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to the subject." Grey Ghost |
