FS -- 275 amp Pipeline Welder, Continental 163 engine

If you've got a use for it Iggy, go for it. If it was close, I'd be talking to him. But what are you going to use it _FOR?_

It's not just the having, it's the using. "He Who Dies With The Most Toys Wins" is pointless if you never need or use the toys.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That may be true for you, Bruce, but not for everyone. I recently bought a gorgeous pocket watch that doesn't keep time as well as my quartz wrist watch--it has a glass front and back, and a wonderful movement. I enjoy just watching it run.

Ah yeah!

I'm not a big collector, but prefer well-built things to look at too.

I brought home tonight a Hobart Bro. (ages that a bit dont it?) trailer mounted welder. 250 amp DC, with a 6 cylinder gas engine. Story I got was that it came off a Liberty ship.

Had to cough up $60 for two used 16" tires. Damnedest wheels Ive ever seen. No hole in the center of the rim, just a bulge so it clears the wheel nut.

Ill post pictures later today.

That is a NICE machine!

Its a Miller

And the Miller 55G (which I have) is considered a "pipeliner" here in the California errral patch. 400 amps, CV/CC

That? was built in 68?????? Looked much much newer than that!!

My Miller 55G was built in 85 and has a F163 in it, rated at 400 amps, CV/CC

Why not?

What about the 55G Miller?

How much?

In short because it's an AC alternator while the SA-200 is a pure DC generator. It get's deeper but that's the main thing.

No it's really not, I've burned several rods in "your" patch, and oil field work is not pipelineing. Mainline construction differs greatly from the gathering systems and related work in your area. There are a lot of machines used in the oil fields that aren't applicable to pipeline construction.

JTMcC.

Mainly because it's a AC alternator vs. a pure DC generator.

JTMcC.

Ok. Your opinion is noted. Thanks!

If you need confirmation that the Liberty Ships carried them, my B-I-L is a Lane Victory crewman. I'll bet they have reference materials that can either confirm or eliminate it.

"Hobart Brothers" is a huge clue. Chrysler six? They used them on all the Searchlight generators.

(Welcome home, and please ease up on the trolls. Other than them railing on about you "running away", it's been quiet. QuietER...)

Ask him if you think about it.

Don't thank me, it's not an opinion it's just the current state of the workplace.

JTMcC.

I'll forward this to him.

I know you know better ;-P but... You are supposed to either crank the tongue jack all the way up or remove the jammed jack

And get a hitch receiver with some more Rise to it - that's half the battle with the tongue jack, that little truck has the hitch mounted way low, the trailer frame should be riding more or less level. With the tongue low the tongue weight will be too high.

My Van is about the same - I had to buy a Class III/V 6" Rise receiver to make a two-axle hydraulic trailer ride level - from the rental yard. ($$) Wouldn't let me out with the 3" rise I normally carry.

That pink epoxy stuff is worrying - If you are keeping it, now's the time to find a good block while you can wait for the right price.

I love the open-frame Pick And Hold throttle solenoid...

For 12V generators and old Autolite starters, repeat after me: Mission Auto Electric, 13472 Van Nuys Bl, Pacoima. 818 896-7736. They still fix em.
