My friend has a lincoln welder with a continental F-162 engine. The welder currently does not work, but the engine runs good. Rather than sink money into the welder, he thought about buying a cheap tractor with bad engine and putting the engine off the welder in the tractor. Someone told us a Massey Harris 30 uses the same engine. Is this a doable swap? Would it be better to sell the welder as is, and then just buy a tractor? He doesn't need a tractor or a welder, just enjoys a project.

Concerning the "parlor" comment. We milked 80 head of Holstein from a freestall barn built in the mid 70's. There were 4 groups in the barn, with one group being dry. The other three groups we milked in the "parlor". There was a pit in the middle of two lines of 4 cows. The cows would come in and we'd shut the gate behind them. They would put their heads down in the grain trough in front of them and eat while I washed udders, milked and then dipped teats. My uncle always called it a parlor. The parlor was in the barn and the living room was in the house where we made out with the girls. (not the cows) Sorry for the long post and being way O.T. but I think we have different terms for certain things.

I would rebuild the welder. There are lots of old tractors around but welders are scarce. I'm sure most parts for Lincoln welders are still available.

--- Sorry, I don't have an answer for you. It's just that I've been pondering something similair to this: Is it possible to hook up a welder or generator to your PTO? It seems like a rather logical implement and it would come in indesensible when welding fences. Does anyone make such an implement?

Does anyone have any Ideeers?

I've actually seen a rig built that held both a generator and a welder. It was built on a 3 point skid. The owner used a pto driven generator from a chicken house to power the welder. Very smooth set-up

My uncle used to hook the generator up to the PTO when the power went out. That way he could milk in the parlor. The PTO speed has to be the same as what the driven machine wants and the HP of the engine needs to be equal to the task. Scary part of the way he used to hook up the generator was by clamping three battery cables from the generator into a disconnect on the outside of the parlor.

Thanks. The info about the welder was very informative. BUT! Let me get this straight. Did your uncle milk COWS in the parlor? What if the preacher, came to visit? Would your aunt serve tea in the barn?
I'm really just a city slicker who's moved out to the country, so maybe there's a failure to communicate. But, anyway, You really gave me a smile:)

Just in case you aren't just pulling our legs...the part of the barn where the cows are moved to be milked is called the "parlor". If you were pulling our legs, congratulations. :-)
