Hobart with 4cyl willys engine

[david2u]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to identify this old welder I have.
It's an American Cryogenics (Hobart) 40 volt, 250 amp DC only willys 134L-head powered welder. Model WCG-250E. I think American Cryogenics changed names or went under in 1972. Someone's borrowed my digital camera, or I'd post a photo. She sits on a pintle hook type trailerframe and the wheels have no centerholes in them. Have to change the tires by hand. Would like to get a manual for it.
Thanks,
David Crary

PS, She's still burning rods!

Hey Dave, I've got the same machine Although I have no printed info for you, I have been using it for 15 years(and fixing it when needed), I could most likely help with any questions on this particular welding unit.

Located my camera so here's a photo. She looks rough now but plan on restoring her back to original this summer.
