well, does it work? ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

| I'm told it does, yes; but I'm the only one that would ever attempt to use it. It was used routinely until they purchased a shop mig in the early 80's. |

So.....a WELDER that size was buried in your shop? Dang. That's some burying. Our "shop" is bad, but I'm pretty sure there's no welder buried in it!!!

| It's not that physically large really and easily fits under a workbench where it was since probably the late 90's. The owner long forgot about it and the next generation had never seen it..... |

Looks like a good supply of hangars also , or as we use to call them gas welding rod supplies for piecing together exhaust systems for cars - Shop where I worked when in high school got uniforms from laundry service and they came on coat hangers - looked at it as new supply of welding rod with every delivery . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel. |

| I do the same Coke. Long lost count of 1/4's and door skins I've welded on when younger. |

| Since Allis Chalmers had a electrical division did they build this welder or at least design and have the parts made to their specifications? |

I'll ask as I wouldn't have any knowledge. I've had A-C motors in the past on air compressors and such but had never seen a welder prior to this one.
It does state "distributed by" however?

| Mostly all this stuff was made by others and just put the Allis name on them |
