Previous owner claimed it ran the last time they welded with it..about 12 yrs ago. Look at the wheels....blink blink..Ive never seen a wheel with no hole in the middle before. I drug it from Bakersfield..about 45 miles at 55-60 mph and the bearings didnt get warm..and I know it had sat parked for at least 8 yrs since they pulled it down from the ranch. Owner claimed it had come off a Liberty Ship vintage WW2...shrug Anyone have any ideas? Nope, sorry Gunner. But could you do me a real biggie and run a couppla tests for the post down below please? As I said I've been lurking and occasionally posting on here. I know all about your wheel incident & love your posts. I didn't see his 5-March post on RCM. My late FIL and very good friend had a gas-engine trailer-mounted Hobart, said it was the sweetest welder he'd ever used. He burned a lot of 7018 with that machine. I coulda had it for the asking when he died but I've no place to keep it or use it and someone who did was very glad to have it. There was some *very* heavy stuff in the basement, so the deal was they got that Hobart for a very good price providing they also take a welding table that easily weighed 500 lb. No prob, they showed up with some big friends and it was all gone before sundown. Good deal for everyone. Hell, I'm learning from reading on here (posted from sejw) |
