Reply:WOW! they look like the parts are all there. Them would make an awesome restoration. Try to keep them original, especially  the hand crank model.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:im going to pick up a 46-47 in a few weeks when the 80 year old gentleman digs it out of his garage, said he was 17 when he first started using it ,
Reply:had some free time tonight to start tearing the 56 apart, looks like it was hardly used , no ridge wear on the exciter armature or the main armature , took the head off , some rust in a few of the cylinders, also motor still locked up , filled up the cylinders with all kinds off stuff to free them up , we'll let it sit for a few weeks and see what happens, , i picked up a 1962 redface blue dial the other day , some parts missing on it , cant seem to find the code on the barrel , doesnt look like it was ever stamped
Reply:Allright! I've been looking for one of those RED and Blue in the face welders myself. Probably has lots of paint over the numbers or rust, which I have almost wire wheeled the numbers right off if I wasn't paying attention. The code could be: 4816,4817,4149, or 4150 according to Stumps Welding supplies, I'm curious.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:the code on the tag is 4816, maybe later in the week i'll sand more of it down to see if a number appears
Reply:i finally got to sanding down the paint to look for the code on the barrel , the number is 5604, which  makes it a 65 or 66, cant tell if the barrel or the face plate was changed , oh well , put it aside and get to it whenever ,
Reply:You have 1965 Redface model. My '65 has the same 5604 code as yours.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:so do you think the face plate was changed? its a red face blue dial plate, hard to tell what was changed , the face plate or the motor and barrel , im probably just gonna take what i need off of it and part the rest out
Reply:By the looks of it, the face plate looks original with the way the numbers are stamped. You could pull the faceplate off and see if the original grey paint is still there. If it does have the original paint, then the generator has for sure been changed out. Look at the mounting flange bolts to see if they have had a socket on them, that would tell you something. It's possible that the control panel could have been swapped out from the original red/blue face machine and mounted on a redface frame. Doe's it have the F162 or F163?SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
