I have a Hobart G-3010 engine drive with a Chrysler 225 6 in it. This is a 300 amp AC/DC machine with a 10K alternator set. This was sold new in 1974 in Mass. and believed to have made it's way across New York state to Erie Pa. during the construction of route 17/ U.S.86. It is a hammer when it lays down a bead at whatever amperage. I haven't tried it on scratch TIG (DC) or with a frequency stabilizer, but it's impressive on stick. The alternator isn't working in a balanced fashion so I'm not getting consistant voltage on that side. One of the 3 excitation wires to the sliprings (rotor windings) doesn't have voltage and the other 2 have 21 volts so for now I can't use it for power generation. These were built at the dawn of transistorization in machines if this type and parts are non existant or only available from a friend of a friend's brother in law and then only with the secret password and lots of cash. Most the people who really know how to fix them are dead now. These 2 things would be the only thing to deter me from buying another old Hobart.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
