WWII Lincoln 300 Welder....new toy

Post by Bill_Wolf »

Picked this up the other day.

It is allegedly a WWII Lincoln 300 Welder powered by a 6 cylinder Hercules JXD engine. Engine Recently rebuilt, 6 volt Pos Ground, starts right up and runs super. Unfortunately the welder portion does not work...that is why it was for sale.. :(

I bought it for the engine to use as a back up for my GE Searchlight. 8)

Anybody know anything about these welders? Anyone have any info or a TM for them?

I have the Hercules and TM's (Searchlight) on the power plant. Just need stuff on the electrical part of the welder.

Anybody know if this unit was hauled around in a Ben Hur trailer?
