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.
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...
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.

D7s weighs less than a 53' step deck full of bees. Generally I have to stop loading before I...
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...
