Reply:Apparently it's a PCX50SS? A closeup of the nameplate is always handy for machine ID. Looks like you would have to contact the company for any literature. http://www.multiquip.com/multiquip/1108_ENU_HTML.htmHere's one that sold at auction. Diesel power with AC, welding, plasma, and compressed air. I'm guessing it was high dollar when new. Yours does not look good but the value depends on what functionality it currently has and/or the cost of restoring functionality. http://www.liveauctionworld.com/MULT...20486_i9064416This member had success getting manuals: http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...CX-50SS-manualLincoln SA200, HH135, Lencospot, HF80 Inverter, Rockwell 11x35 lathe, HF drill mill, Kama 554 tractor w/ FEL & BH, Belarus 250AS, lot's of Chinese tools
Reply:I can tell you it looks like it's been in a pile of cow $hit for a few years.  Plasma torches alone can cost north of $500.  Don't know where you'd ever find parts.
Reply:I think I saw something move in the first pic..30 cents a pound? Just a WAG.
Reply:Step 1 find who left it out sidestep 2, throw them into an active volcano,  you have those there dont you?I think a working unit like that would be very valuable,  you have a welding generator, regular generator, air compressor and plasma all rolled into one. You might be able to get it partially functional again, my guess is that the plasma system is a lost cause. You might end up with a welder generator with air compressor, I dont know about you, but that sounds pretty handy to me.If its beyond fixing, which this one very well could be you could always gut it and sell parts off on ebay.old Miller spectrum 625 Lincoln SP-135 T, CO2+0.025 wireMiller model 250 and WP-18V torchCraftsman 100amp AC/DC and WP-17V torchCentury 115-004 HF arc stabilizerHome made 4 transformer spot welderHome made alternator welder
Reply:Thanks for the info guys.It has been outside in the AK elements for a minimum of 5-10 years.Was bough at an auction and never got running.My buddy was going to give it to me, just to get it off his place.I personally don't want to go to the work and hassle to get it functioning.I can get some pics next time I'm out there.Any thoughts on this machine is appreciated.~JohnJust a couple welders, big hammers, grinders, and torches.Work will free you.Men in dirty jeans built this country, while men in clean suits have destroyed it.

Reply:I'd say if it turns over okay it's worth checking out. 10 years in the elements should not ruin a machine designed to be outside but the lack of a visible exhaust pipe could mean the engine filled with water and rusted up.Is this it? http://www.rockanddirt.com/aucsearch...&model=PCX50SSLast edited by Brad Blazer; 04-06-2014 at 07:37 AM.Lincoln SA200, HH135, Lencospot, HF80 Inverter, Rockwell 11x35 lathe, HF drill mill, Kama 554 tractor w/ FEL & BH, Belarus 250AS, lot's of Chinese tools

Reply:If its free, take it home. Clean it out and try to get it running. Could be a nice machine to have around, even if some of the features don't work.Airco Ac/Dc 300 HeliwelderMillerMatic 200 (stolen)Miller Maxstar 150STLMiller AEAD200LE (welding and generating power) Hobart MIG

Reply:Lots of stuff less well preserved than that can be made to work just fine with modest effort.As a kid one time my cousin was restoring a 1950 Chevy. There was a 1948 in the trees behind my grandma's house that had been there for decades and trees had grown around it. He needed a motor for the 1950. We dragged the 48 out with a tractor, put some gas in the carb, checked the oil, jumped the battery and it fired right up. This was in Minnesota. Ever since then I am loathe to count machines down and out just because they have not been used for awhile. I'm sure you could get another torch for it. Even if it was 500, hey, free plasma/welder/generator.

Reply:Looks good. Is it showing 1578 hours? Not too much for a Kubota diesel. Get the manual from Multiquip, update the maintenance and clean out the fuel system. You might be good to go. The torch even looks okay to me. It's amazing what a difference a cleaning up will make.
