HOBART Welder with 134 L-HEAD

[Ryan_M]

I found this today in my recent haul of vintage books. It's a May 1958 Army HOBART WELDER MODEL GL 218S Supply Manual. Does that motor look familiar?

I knew they were used in gennys but I wasn't aware of welders. Would it still have been a Willys motor? Lots of Willys part numbers but not sure if those carried over to Kaiser etc? I'm guessing they would have. Or would it have been old stock Willys motors?

Neat diagrams either way.











































There's many more but you get the idea. I may hang onto this one.

That is some very cool stuff my friend. I have a friend in NY who has that welder. I will see if I can get him to send me a pic.

Those are definitely very fine illustrations. Jell-o-ness.

Scout - If you want better quality scans of the carb diagram and parts list (or anything else in there) for your website just let me know.

I will jump on this like a chicken on a June Bug. If you please, and at your convenience, would you scan the carb, fuel pump, manifold and distributor? I'd be much obliged.

Will do!

There is one on Mpls. Craigslist right now, actually quite common here ( Jeep powered welders).
