Ive been sandbagging and i guess its time to ask for help. I cant seem to find much on here about these welders. My dad bought this thing in 1989 and it ran good till he tried to splice civilian spark plugs and failed bigtime! There isnt one id tag left on it. So i hope somebody can recognise it. I know it is the 4a084 engine and i think it says hobart some place.

If you need parts there are complete engines and parts listed in the classifieds. Search the word engine. They are plentiful right now but will not be forever.

Does the schematic not have a part number, probably in parenthesis, in the lower right or left of the drawing?

I don't know a thing about the welder. The engine is the same as the one on my air compressor. There have been a ton of them surplussed out in the last few years. I have seen them sell new or rebuilt in crates for as low as $400. They won't last long at those kind of prices. There is a listing in the classifieds here for that very engine. I did not see any prices listed. If you plan to keep and use that welder it maybe time to stock up on some spares. I got a new carb, plugs, and electronic ignition from saturn surplus. Good Luck!

Can't help with the welder TM, but if it is the 4A084 engine, the TM for that is TM9-2805-259-14. Parts TM would be TM--9-2805-259-24P.

Apparently they didnt produce a lot of these unlike the gensets. Well thanks for the replies. I figured there would be someone that had one or used one or at the very least seen one.

I know for a fact that it is a Hobart machine but the model has me wondering.

These machines were only built for the military ( to thier specs)

They were installed in maint trucks


Give me any info and numbers and I will try to find out what I can



I am a welder by trade for over 30 years and I have seen these from time to time

Thanks for the offer Connectingbar, Im not a real good welder but I can lay a nice pile of turkey.........well you know the type.aua




Stellaruthie the picture of the tag is what I needed, thank you.

What I called HOBIE until now is actually a LTO-300, unless the Libby model number differs from the Hobart model number. Well anyhow it gets me close enough and a big THANK YOU!
