Too late! Owner hauled it away already. I'm happy with the compensation I received.

Gary I actually built a portable welder with two of those generators. At first I used one of their 200 amp generators and then moved up to a 400 amp generator powered by a 1955 Chev. 235 six cylinder. The family that I sold it to in 1978 still has it.

Hey Chris great story I aslo bought one of the generators 40+ years ago my brother set it up with an engine he had and used it as a welded some but then let it sit out in the woods for 20/25 years I got the generator from him about 5 years ago with the intention of getting going again but when I got into it the mice had gotten into it and pretty much ruined it and I lost interest. I remember welding with one that my Dad borrowed from a friend of his it was mounted on a 2 wheel trailer and had a 540 PTO drive set up
