I had one of these welders back about 12 years, I pulled it out of the cudzoo vines where it had been sitting for nearly 15 years payed the man $150.00 for it, it was mounted on a truck axel with a pintle ring I rebuilt it and painted it red primer used it for a few years, had a man drive 500 miles to get it and pay me $1500.00 for it it was one of the best welders I have ever owned.
