The welder with trailer weighs 4000LBS and the trailer is equipped with blackout Lights. It has a Dodge 230CI Flathead 6 Cylinder Engine which is the same engine as the 1942 WC51 Dodge ¾ Ton Truck which is pulling it.
The welder in its original configuration and on its original trailer . I also have its original Hobart US Army Technical Manual. It Has a Brass Tag on Armature stating it was rebuilt in 1950 in Fulda Germany by the Karl Schmidt Generator Rebuilding Facility.
TOMMY K I would love to see the photos of the welder you mention in your posts!!

Thanks!
