Hobart 300 amp Simplified Arc Welder

Hobart 300 amp Simplified Arc Welder $4,000 [IL]

Hobart 300 amp Simplified Arc Welder (serial # DW65889) mounted on flatbed.

This bed fits on any flat fender, civilian Power Wagon. The bed was completely sandblasted, primed and repainted. The welder was only hand sanded, primed and repainted.

The welder is powered by a Chrysler industrial 230 CID flathead engine (mod # IND, serial # 17566, type-7A-2). All aspects of this welder are fully functional. Welder has a 120 volt AC power outlet. The bed has sleeves for medium sized oxy/acc tanks as well as a tub for a 9.00/16 spare tire at the front of the bed. &nb sp; There are two lockable storage compartments on each side of the bed.

This bed was bolted to my 1952 Power Wagon chassis and won best of show at the 2007 Vintage Power Wagon rally in Fairfield, Iowa. It also appears in the December issue of Collectible Automobile magazine (page 38). It was one of several Power Wagons featured in an in-depth article on the History of the Power Wagon.

This welder works great and can create a very unique Power Wagon. Imagine showing up on a construction job and actually being able to use your toy. It was always a favorite at the numerous car shows I attended during the summer of “07”. If you purchase this bed/welder bring your cab and chassis when you pick it up and I can install it for you.
