I would like to see more pictures of how you redid the welder. I remember seeing those rusty before pictures, but I never saw any after.

Looks great, always fun to do your own cart and add-ons

I would like to see more pictures of how you redid the welder. I remember seeing those rusty before pictures, but I never saw any after.

Did not take photos of the repair.
So I will attempt to describe the repair
I cut the entire floor out of the welder. Using a Matabocutting grinder (a true favorite tool).

Checked the windings. And they were intact and not grounded.

So I made angle iron Frames. That used threaded rod. Andnuts to sandwich the laminated core of the windings.

Welded in a new floor. And welded the angle frames back inthe welder.

Also replaced a capacitor, a fuse. And cleaned most of theelectric connections.

Loads of work. But I now have a nice working unit. For afraction of used.

I enjoy repairing and restoring nice quality vintageequipment. But trust me this was a gamble most would no attempt.
Youshould see my John Deere 318.
That is repowered with a Kohler 25HP V-twin (without a kit).
Custom:
Drive shaft, Mufler, PTO clutch & adaptor, Runs and looks like new.
