RARE 1940's HOBART WeldMobile Chrysler Straight IN-LINE 8, (FLATHEAD 8) Cylinder Driving Movable Welder. I can not stress how rare these are to find. ****THIS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, 10 DAYS ONLY (Ends Friday Oct 26th) ******** I have tried to put a price tag on it, but I can not find a comparison. I was told they were used during WWII and after in shipyards and railway yards then sold as surplus to rural communities and then individuals. I also found out they were used overseas quite a bit. Very dependable welders for the old school arc that are known for their beauty of their welds in the right welder's hands. Yes my family is welders, we built refinery tanks and I do not remember ever NOT having this!! This machine did run 5 years ago. From what I remember they do go pretty fast!!! This would be a cool parade item and could somehow fit into a car show and maybe even a tractor show!! Fun Investment!! The main photo with air in the tires was when it was running. I moved it home a year ago. I included those photos of how it was moved and that is when the tires were deflated and now is blocked up in my yard :) where I can keep an eye on it!! So I have decided "EVERYBODY" should decide what it's value is. It needs to be tended to and restored. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. HIGH BIDDER WINS!! I will require you to pick this up, as I am not able to deliver it. Winning Bidder is responsible for ALL pickup and delivery arrangements and costs. Located in NE Oklahoma, Copan 74002.

I have the side curtains for the one side on the floorboad of the machine. Please study to pictures very carefully, it is in good condition! I do not have any idea how much it weighs (sorry) but not that heavy, and the wrecker very easily hauled it up. I have a gate entrance to my property and that fit no problem, but a 40' semi? No. A hotshot truck and trailer with a winch and ramps would not problem either! I know I made this sound personal, because it is. I thank each and everyone of my buyers and make sure I never loose my good standing on here. I am upfront with everything. Sorry I don't know any more technical knowledge about this. I just really have always liked it so much! I can try to answer any questions you may have. Anonymous Buyers. Good Luck and THANK YOU I am depending on this community to help me find the right home for this unique item!
