What Do I Have???

[ken17j]

I purchased a Hobart welder/generator. It didn't run. I cleaned out the gas tank and the carburator. The flywheel, starter and battery where all replaced. With all of this done, the machine runs like a top. It welds and generates power. I am trying to find out the data for the machine so I can see what I actually have. The data plate is so worn that you can't read anything. It's on a trailer of it's own so you can tell it's a big unit. The flywheel and starter are similar to what is on a 1985 Ford Mustang 4 cylinder, so I know that it is at least an '85. The armature(sp) has two rows of pickups on it. I don't know if that helps or not. It has a low and high range, automatic idle and one duplex receptical on the front. If you have any info on how I can figure out what I have, I will greatly appreciate it. A pipe fitter that I know calls it a pipeliner type machine.
Thanks,
Ken

I have this on a couple different pages. I hope someone can help me.
