    1958 Hobart self propelled 400 amp DC stick welder

    I do not believe it has an attached air compressor, but it has a 15 amp 110 outlet which would power a small compressor if needed.

    MEP002A Intermittant Issue

    I will double check the ground this weekend when I have time and let you know what I find. While I am at it I will also check voltage to solenoid while its cranking.

    1958 Hobart self propelled 400 amp DC stick welder

    I will take some more pictures of it when I get home. you are seeing the front with the electrode side lead. I should mention it has a Chrysler flathead (appears to be 3 cylinder, though some people who have looked at it believe it to be a 6 cylinder) engine. Its currently running a touch...

    1958 Hobart self propelled 400 amp DC stick welder

    I recently acquired a 1958 self propelled welding cart. The cart itself has. Hobart badge on it. The cart has a 3 speed transmission. The welder works very nicely and has very low hours on it. This unit was acquired from an arsenal, so it is NOT a military piece of gear, yet it is direct...

    MEP002A Intermittant Issue

    I will double check with my multimeter during cranking. When I observed during cranking and failure to start the solenoid did not retract. I considered lubing the solenoid plunger but decided against after I determined its an intermittent issue. It appeared as though the solenoid wasnt...

    MEP002A Intermittant Issue

    Sometimes (not all the time) when I start my MEP002A the low oil pressure over-ride doesn't work. I have to walk over and physically push up the solenoid just a bit. Then when I go back it fires up. Yes it does stay running once oil pressure is built. What would cause the low pressure...

    looking for Line Hauler or HET

    So this would only be a 20,000 mile a year truck at most. 2 to 3 round trip runs on east coast for long hauls. Other than that, it would be just local putzing around. Do the M931s select in and out of 6*6 mode?

    looking for Line Hauler or HET

    I have looked at FLD120s and found tons of them available with sleepers and such on them. The military trucks have way less use on them. However I do see the merit with air ride suspension as well. D7s weighs less than a 53' step deck full of bees. Generally I have to stop loading before I...

    looking for Line Hauler or HET

    All the thoughts are greatly appreciated. I will not be hauling hay. Well if I do haul hay its not the only thing I will be hauling. It is honeybees I will be hauling with it. To get a military tractor for a fraction of the cost of a commercial tractor seems to me the way to go. I can put...

    noted on the rough ride. Maybe an M818 would be better for the local off road and the M915 for long hauls.

    are the M915 6*6?

    looking for Line Hauler or HET

    So I looked. Yes HETs are out. I appreciate the input. I see lots of M916s and M920s with low < 20K miles on them on gov liq
