Need help identifying a Hobart Generator / Welder

I just posted 3 pictures of an old Hobart Generator Welder we have at school. It is a diesel engine. I would guess about 200 - 300 amps output.

It has been behind campus for 15 years. We are finally going to get rid of it, but I need an identity for the paperwork.

And BTW does anybody know what colors the logo would have been painted. It is just a faded brown and aluminum.

They can tell you the year it was manufactured and who bought it. Can also call Hobart / Miller help line listed on all their new welders and same people will answer your question.
