https://tinyurl.com/2p9afpha1) I saw this on FB.  I am driving near the welder in a couple days on business.  Your thoughts...From the post:Gas Kohler engine runs good. New battery. Stick welder. Not Tig. Not Mig.  New ground lead and clamp. No output from outlets and only a small spark from a welding rod .    $650 firm.2) How difficult is it to get a factory service manual on a welder?  I do this for all my vehicles and can fix anything.Thanks for the help!Last edited by ericsarratt; 20 Hours Ago at 07:05 AM.1940-1950 (?)

Reply:Ad doesn’t say how many hours engine has on it.That would be a lot to pay if you had to repair thewelder and then a few months later the enginestarted using oil. We have those engines on equipment at work and they seem to hold up reallywell, but I’d look at hour meter for total hours andsee if owner has reset maintenance hours, whichCOULD mean he’s been maintaining it.Miller a/c-d/c Thunderbolt XLMillermatic 180 Purox O/ASmith Littletorch O/AHobart Champion Elite
