Craigslist score - Hobart

[MattW]

So I've been looking for a welder for a while and have came close to ordering one online several times, but never pulled the trigger. I check Craigslist often and just happen to jump on there when I came in earlier this evening. Sure enough under tools there's a Hobart 140 practically brand new for $350, exactly what I had been looking to orderI quickly call the guy and offer him $300, he says sure thing and I'm in the truck on the way.

I get there to pick it up and then he says he has a tank of argon too. I'm guessing a small tank. Wrong, it's a full 125 cubic foot tank and he only wants $25 for it.

Without hesitating I say sold and I'm loading it up. Can't wait to get the time to learn how to use it and start doing some body work.

;D

Great find!! Get ya some srap metal to play with, old crashed fenders and doors work good. Grind ya a clean spot. Adjust you wire speed 'till it sounds like bacon cookin'. You'll be a pro in a few minutes!!

Nice score.

Good deal now read up on how to use it and learn all you can about your new machine. Don't get frustrated when you get some booger welds at first you'll be a pro in no time!

Excellent find..I found one when I was at my engine shop and a guy walked in and tried to sell him one new in the box. I took right away for $350.00 as well. Haven't used it much but a little..Nice find!
