So I saved this Diesel Welder Generator from a junk yard, and we were able to get it to run, then to generate, and finally we got it to WELD!! Now it's time to start fixing things!

So the plan is to pick up from there with the repairs this machine needs now that we know it's WORTH putting some time and money into!

This project SNOWBALLED into a much larger "RESTORATION" project than I had planned, but I am VERY happy with the results so far, and I'd LOVE to know your thoughts as well!

This machine is a Red-D-Arc D300K 3+3 Diesel Welder Generator and has a Kubota v1902 4 cylinder diesel engine. The welder portion is made by Lincoln Electric and is pretty much a Lincoln Classic 300D, but it has been rebranded by Red-D-Arc and made more simple to be sold largely to rental fleets. These welders are very well known to be built like tanks and about as simple as a machine like this can get! That's exactly what I like about it!

Sit down, relax and let's see if we can revive Mike's forgotten Welder generator or if it turns out to be a pile of JUNK!
