Hobart 230A Welder / Wisconsin THD

- Here is a video of my Hobart welder/ generator. It's got a Wisconsin THD enigne (crank start only). I have had this welder for about two years now. I have worked on it a bit at a time. I recently got it all back together and running.
It's max output is 230A however at 100% duty cycle it is only rated at 200A.
Now for the Airco...........
I have the Lincoln version of this welder with the same engine. Mine is a 1955 I bought from the original owner. One snap with the choke on then a second snap with the choke off and it pops to life. I stopped using it to weld about 25 years ago and use it for a back up generator. (I’m a professional welder and use modern equipment for work) It has never failed me when the power fails. 😉
This welder was copied to be just like the Lincoln. That's a Lincoln welder build by Hobart.
@@tnhuckleberry01Thank you, I also have the 1963 Lincoln with the 2 cylinder Wisconsin. It’s a 200 amp, but in AC current output only. Runs, welds, but I do not use it, afraid of the original selenium rectifier still onboard. They deteriorate over time. No drawings to figure out a possible diode value / arrangement to upgrade
Heya Mike! I JUST picked one of these THD engines up yesterday and to my surprise, two cranks and she fired right off. One of my new favorite engines! Great vintage Welder!! Zip~
ZippoVarga Good for you, these are great welders!
@@SmallEngineMechanic i just picked up one of them motors sadly the guy i got it from ripped the welder end apart for scrap metal
I had the same engine on my ditchwitch trencher.
What horse motor is that?
@@tnhuckleberry01 16hp
I have one of these really old Hobart/Wisconsin 2-cylinder welders with a distributor ignition. Was given to me many years ago. It welds beautifully but I cannot get any output from the AC generator. There doesn't seem to be any fuse or circuit breaker so I'm thinking there may be an open in the windings. Any suggestions? I would love to get it fully restored. The unit is otherwise in very good condition.
Just picked up a bobcat 444 w/ one of these. My second time watching the vid, awesome!
cool ass welder! that 2 cylinder Wisconsin sounds great under load.
Picked up one of these style welders January this year. Have it running, but no out put. Would love to have it going eventually. I have gotten the manual for it from Hobart directly, just getting time to go over it now.
great runner the old stuff
Yep, it is on a completely different level from what they sell today!
I hope one day I can find me a welder like that for sure. Something that is not made like that any more.
I got one for sale
@@mannyrodriguez8926 Send me information and price Manuel. Thanks
Hay Mike or anyone else. I know this video is older. I just aqired a Lincoln DC180 welder. Same engine. DC only. I checked with volt metor i have 30 to 56 volts to use. Can i utalize a 36VDC or 48VDC inverter and have a usfull generator?
Mi padre tiene uno igual y es y será una gran makina y muy buena
yup its a loud one sounds like it runs strong though
I just acquired the same machine, but mine is electric start. Its got a 6 volt. and has reverse grounding on battery. Gonna try to get it running.
yes .the pistons were stucked in the midle of the cilinder ,now i am working on the sparking problem and i think is the dist,cap
but any ways I think this engine it was sitting for more than 25 years or more the carburator it was full of something white like powder it was full ,
thanks for your help
I had a airco 3 phase for 5 years bought it back in the late 80s while I was in the NAVY I would have kept it but where I moved to had no 3 phase power so I got smart and sold it be before I moved . Now I have a licnckon tombstone welder it only goes to 75 amps 100% but will go to 225 intermittent use I miss the old welder as it put out AC and DC and the one I have now only does AC I wish I could find one like yours at a good price I need to weld some that need 200 amps solid for 30 min
Where are you guy I have the same welder generator and I want you to have a look am in Sydney ,liverpool
You wouldn't happen to have a service, parts or owners manual for one, maybe email me. I would pay for your time. Mines a G-213 Hobart but I not sure if brushes for a 200 Lincoln might work. I need the ones for the AC side also. Had a wire that came loose and it stuck the brush on the DC side. They are all very brittle and all that carbon has to be cleaned off.the stratater. I think that's what it's called.
I believe the crank handle adapter is threaded to the crankshaft, unscrew that and look at the flywheel. I think it is keyed to the crank. Is there any way to get a puller on it?
Also I would pull the cylinder head to see what the top end looks like. Its proably not too bad id its just stuck from sitting.
I have a welder just like your where can I find parts for it.
Need help timing my weldenpower 225 with Wisconsin 2 cylinder how do I set my magneto timing
Any idea where I can find a fuel tank for one of those?
Do you know what is would take to add an electric starter to you TJD engine? Did the factory provide provisions for the starter mounts and ring gear?
I have pretty much the same machine except mine is distributor driven 😎👌
How much does it cost if I could get one
@IHcubcadet
Im actually on the trail of another one now. Real Wisconsins haven't been made for 30 years or so. There are a few good dealers throughout the country you can get most parts from, and of course evilbay. However you will pay. I have not seen many aftermarket parts from different suppliers like for rings and other wear parts, but they are out there. Most parts are NOS. MY OPINION if you find one get it, they are cool engines!
I'm going to be working on a pair of twin Wisconsin engines one is tfd the other is thd both have been sitting over 25 years.
Is there an easy way to prime the oil pump before first test runs?
I am trying to avoid having to removing the sumps on either engine till I hear them run because parts and gaskets are a bit pricey.
I have a G235 welder with a THD-2 Wisconsin (non mag) can’t seem to find points, cap, rotor etc... other than 90$ on eBay. Is that really the only option? Appreciate any info or leads, thank you.
How did you set up the throttle to weld? Low or high power?
Thats Awesome!!!
I just bought one. pleasae explain the firing system as mine does not fire'
I've bought a Hobart 213; it's been sitting in a garage for about 7 or 8 years without being run, and the engine (Wisconsin air-cooled) is stuck. How can I take it apart safely? I've already tried it a couple of times, but I'm having some problems with the flywheel. How can I remove it?
I would say it could be worth $400-800. At least thats probably in the range I would pay for it. Somebody looking for a classic machine might give you more, ya never know. Sounds like a nice set up! Where are you located?
well i just gave 600 for mine running just trying to smooth out the engine now
You can't buy it today for $800. Not in 2023 ten years later.
how many amps does it have at the 230v outlet?
My new welder
tengo una soldadora de las misma pero necesito la pieza que regula el amperaje donde lo puedo conseguir así sea usado
I HAVE MY WISCONSIN TJD BUT IS VERY HOT AT THE TOP OF THE ENGINE ,,RIGHT WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS ARE... AND I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL OR NOT,BUT WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNING AND AFTER 5 MINUTES STOPS ITSELF AND I THINK IS BECAUSE THE OVER HEATING..,
DOES ANYBOTY KNOWS WHY OR WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM?
THANKS,,,,,,,,,,EDUARDO
Take the sheet covers off and look for trash inside there
what size are the leads
how many quarts of oil does this welder take? i got the same machine!
+Calilezhe' Rodriguez Think between 3 and 4 quarts. Thanks for watching!
You never want to wear loose shirts or have long beard/hair when starting one of these because if you get caught it will eat you for up. This one is kind of small but on the big ones you got to be carefull
Deben demostrar soldando algo más serio como x ejemplo las garras de una escavadora los segmentos de un Caterpillar
needs a small turbo
I have this type of a machine but it doesn't weld what could be the reason
I have one for sale!
Hi there! I pretty much have the same exact welder (not running at the moment) and I wanted to ask you a few questions to see if you could maybe point me in the right direction for information on these welders. I don't understand the heat range "handwheel" these machines use. I am primarily an old school Lincoln man. Do you understand how the heat range adjustment is supposed to work on these machines? Please reply at theduke at gmail dot com if need be. Thanks!
