Reply:Wow whoever buys that is getting a deal.. even if it's shot it's worth more than that in scrap value.
Reply:I would think that the diesel would be preferred over gas.  But I don't know, maybe the folks that use these things could comment.

Reply:I wonder why it has lasted so long?Mr. HE
Reply:I wonder if people are put off by the fact that it's a welding machine that's left out in the rain with no cover and rusted to s**t!  The PNW west of the Cascade range can create a pretty stellar amount of rust on anything left outside, and Seattle's probably worse than many places even then.  As a side note, I've seen a few people's shops out here where they just put what was once a perfectly good machine tool, outside!  There's one place in town here where there are multiple Monarch and Hardinge lathes, VTLs, a variety of milling machines, and tons of grinders (tool and cutter, OD grinders, etc.).  They just degrade more and more each year.  I don't understand why they do that!Miller Dynasty 200 DXMiller CP-300 with 30A feederHypertherm Powermax 900Oxy-fuel w/Harris torchesScotchman Glide-in bandsawMonarch 10EE latheEmi-Mec Autoturn latheDeckel FP2NC milling machinePro-Tools 105 Bender
