Reply:"This welder was used in the 50’s and 60’s for a lot of pipe fences in the Kern County area. It has a 15kw Wilson Hornet Generator that was ran by a Ford model “T” flat head motor. Everything worked on it before the waterside of the block cracked on the motor. Had plans for it but need to let it go. Please make an offer!"The pictures are small and blurry, but I'm sure that's not a "T" engine. Attachment 42610It looks like a six cylinder, with a water pump, oil filter, and distributor. The "T" was a four, and had none of the extras. That's sure a healthy welding generator head though. It'd probably still be a functional rig.

Reply:Originally Posted by denrepI don't know - To me the edge of the head looks too round for F Continental, and there may not be an oil fill tube on the left, could be though.I hope someone saves it.Good Luck
Reply:I dont think its a continental or a dodge, looks more like a late 30s early 40s hercules to me.
Reply:old school onan? wisconsin?fwiw both chevy and ford had old school inline 6 cylinders... both of those would probably be too big for this application though.Last edited by jeepmkcomin; 12-13-2009 at 07:06 PM.
Reply:I think Cablecat is on it with Hercules. Herc liked to hang stacks of gear driven accessories off of the side. Of course Chev built a lot of sixes, but they were all OHV. Ford built a few flat sixes, but they had the scribler on the front, or stabbed through the side on an angle.I can't think of a Wisconsin or Onan in this class of six, but maybe.We'll have to talk Tanglediver into a look, see, buy. Good LuckLast edited by denrep; 12-13-2009 at 07:52 PM.
Reply:It depends on what the board of directors has to say about buyouts and aquisitions. I think we're under a spending freeze.City of L.A.
