Hobart Bro. Gas driven welder
A buddy of mine has offered to swap/trade an old Hobart Brothers
trailer mounted gas welder to me. The thing was alleged to have come off a Liberty Ship in WW2. Supposedly it runs well, needs some tuneup, gaskets and so forth. After all..it is about 60 yrs old G Anyone know of such a critter? Gunner Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. H. L. Mencken |

I always viewed the Hobart machines as mighty desireable, they always seemed to suit me (although the SAE Lincoln is a fantastic machine, and one of my favorites). If the price it right I'd say it is worth grabbing. What model is it? I really like the old machines, big ol' low rpm things that last a long time.. John |

Ill have some pictures in the next few weeks. I was over there yesterday, but wasnt feeling really great and forgot to take pics. He is going up to Idaho for a couple weeks, so I probably wont get to the welder until he gets back.
