A Hobart you say, that looks like a nice little unit. I have a big Hobart with an inline 6 ford engine on a trailer, and it needs the exciter, re-excited though. Good video.
they really are great engines, i had not realised that til after i got my old davis trencher, which has a 18 hp wisconsin, great looking restore! great vid, its nice to see these old engines still working, i wished they made things today as they did because there really are some things built to last back in the earlier days.
Very nice restoration work. You might try a small farm tractor muffler in place of the "Pancake" muffler. I think you'll like the sound better. The Pancake mufflers give a splattering sound. A good tractor muffler should roar nice. Be sure it has the proper inlet size. Good luck.
First thanks all folks for your kind words and comments. The restoration process of this golden include all original parts. The muffler are original. Sure it's noisy, but the specs must be respected. Also this muffler was so hard to find, but it's original. However, thanks for the suggestions and keep enjoy the video and tell your friends how good works

How many amps does the welder put out and what kind of welding stick did you use? That is one nice system.

I tell you what, those old Wisconsin engines are some of the toughest old SOB's out there. 50 years from now this thing will still be running!

Alex, it looks great and and thank for the demonstration! I'm so glad to see your machine weld the way it did when new in 1954.
I can only hope that when finished, mine looks half as good as yours.
Congratulations! You should be very proud!
