! guess it is the one that sits in the 1 ton Ben Hur. Probably with a welder
as well.
A friend of mine has a couple of the Hobart generator welder units with I
think a Dodge T214 engine. On one of our trips he used it to do some
emergancy welding and to provide power and lighting for our groups camp.
