(02/04/2015) Gas tank leaks, but still may be a good price.

“Hobart DC welder from the 50s powered by an industrial 4 cylinder CJ2A Willys flat head engine . Item has been stored in a garage for around 25 years after being taken out of service due to a leaky gas tank. The cables were scrapped due to the insulation all falling off of them years ago. The engine is stuck from sitting for years but should not have gotten any water in it. I have a key for it that fits the switch and moves between positions. Item being removed from a period transport trailer.”

Here are a couple Hobart welders with jeep engines on each coast. Both operate.

1. Hobart Welder, Fruitland, Idaho $750.

“Older Hobart Portable welder/generator, 250 amp, 40 volt, 60% duty cycle. Powered by a Willy’s Industrial 4 cylinder motor. Has one 110 outlet on the front panel. It has been started, runs well and will strike an arc and weld. Currently missing the battery and ground clamp, welding cables are weathered.”

2. Hobart Welder, Haverhill, MA $600.

“Hobart “tow-behind” welding machine with bottle racks.
4 cylinder WILLYS flathead runs great. Armature has a shot and only provides a scratch-arc”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.

It runs, but needs some work. May be a good price.

“Hobart Gas Engine Driven welder generator. Will need some work to make run but does run and work. Currently the engine cover is off and the radiator was removed to be replaced. Have new radiator and needs to be reassembled. Gas in tank is likely bad from sitting. With some work you can have a decent running older welder generator. Or use the parts for something else.
The engine is a cool old JEEP Willys industrial motor.
AS is no trades. The welder head alone will fetch $300 worth of scrap copper at the recycle yard, I would just rather see it go to someone who has the time to use it.”
