    I bought this welder and torch from a lady back in April who’s husband passed away last year. I swapped out the torch head and gauges for my cheap one at home I bought at northern tool 20 years ago. Sold the welder to a mechanic across from my work for what I paid for all of it. Traded him the torch for doing a valve cover gasket job on my tacoma, he finally got around to doing that today :D

    I welded up the worn part then found the center of the outside and run a .736" end mill through it then reamed it to .750" . The customer had been to JD and got a replacement bolt and it had the plastic bushings with it, they are the green/blueish you can see in the photo. I guess they are made to replace when worn but who checks wear parts on a mower deck :rofl:

    Some sort of test press, not sure what they test with it. It gets 3 pneumatic cylinders mounted on it. We've made several over the years.
