Hobart welder parts.

I have an old Hobart Welder, probably 1940's vintage. Unfortunately I do not know the model number. It is a 300 amp DC welder and is powered by a Wisconsin V4 engine. One of the brushes on the exciter generator is broken. Does anybody know of a parts supplier for old Hobart welders?

When ITW bought Hobart Bros, they were forced to break the company up, and most of the heavy equipment line was sold to Thermal Dynamics. TD definitely ain't a helpful company. You might have luck posting a picture of the unit on http://www.hobartwelders.com/mboard/ and if you get really lucky, one of the factory people might help you.

If you have A company that rewinds elec. motors or works on elec. motors they can match them up. Thats where I had to get A set. Big Al

weldmart carries the brushes that will work on that hobart just take the measurements and tell them what you need, I believe the sa 200 brushes are the same.

Miller bought out Hobart and discontinued lots of things for older ones but they do have a site for parts & manuals you can try that or try Bill's in OKC or Stumpf's in IL or Hybriweld / Fowlers in LA all are welder service shops. Also including links to some brush companies.
