I think you need to make it an even number. One of these machines would be a nice compliment to your fleet.

I just can't bring myself to carbon arc with one of my welders. Over the years I've put the hurt on several engine drives carbon arcing with them. Which is fine when the welders belongs to the company.

Wow--a multifunction welder with a Perkins diesel for only $15K.
At your labor rate ($100/hr?) you should have it paid off in less than a month :laughing:
IIRC you don't think much of multifunction welders (they do a lot of things, none of them very well). What changed your mind in this case?

Well that is certainly a nice gift even if it was from you to you.
My fathers day present was a nice surprise visit from Laurie my middle daughter who live north of Houston Tx. She snuck in and surprised us with her 2 daughters. We got another surprise the following day when the baby daughter snuck in from Denver for a fathers day surprise. About 5 days later, was surprised again when Laurie's husband showed up also. He had flown in from work in Northern Alberta Canada. This was his first visit (it took 6 years to get him here)to our new home and was a really good surprise. He works much like I did for many years with 6-8 weeks of work and 10 days off so most of his free time is spent catching up with personal business at home so not much way to travel 7 hours from home and visit.
So I ended up with 3 father's day surprises which was much better than a gift of something that I might not use or need. According to all my kids and wife, I am very hard to gift since if I need something, I buy it and don't wait for a birthday, anniversary or holiday to come, therefore, I don't NEED much so a welcomed visit was a great gift.
Wife and I are promised a complete family reunion for Christmas this year. It will be the first time in 6 years that all the kids (5)with their families have been home for the holidays.

Gary our youngest daughter, son-n-law, and 3-grandsons live right behind us. The oldest daughter, son-n-law, grandson, and youngest granddaughter live about 4-miles away. Funny we don't get to see them all that much, busy lives!
, busy lives!
