    Do you know what model Saw mine looks longer and wider I bought mine new in the late eighties .

    It came with a coolant pump that made more of a mess then anything so that was removed .

    Other then a few worn out blades and new bearings in the blade guide it does what I need.

    It would see periods of constant use then I would be working out of State it might not get touched for months

    Put the welder in a different shed, knew it would be tight so I used the old John Deere 110 from the 1960’s my dad gave my son. Worked great!

    I like that stack! I was going to do the same on my bobcat 225. Yours have an onan? Mine is a 99 with about 250 hrs which is super low but it has started blowing oil out of the side of it, a rat must have chewed a hole in the fuel line bc it’s leaking annnnnd it no longer charges the battery. I may swap engines to a kholer eventually.

    It has a Kohler 20 hp on it. When I bought it I had the option of Kohler 20 hp or onan 16 hp for the same price. Have had zero issues with it. This one only has 275 hours on it.

    There’s nothing like that feeling when you hear the welder sounding just right and you have the right rhythm and you just know you’re laying good beads. Ahhhh....

    Yeah or torpedo welder. My dad had it rebuilt and he gave it to me. It’s currently at a family friends warehouse while I save up to have my shop built. But it’s 3 phase 220 volts 22 amps. It welds good I have used it with a dry rig. It is smooth.
