Miller Big Blue 400 amp DC welder

[m7040]

Got this trailer mounted welder with an air cooled diesel engine about 10 years ago and have not started it since. So decided to see if it would start. Installed a fresh battery and pushed the start button. Wouldn't you know it barely turn over the engine before it started. Runs like a top with 6000 hours on the clock. Anyone else have one of these?

It had a Deutz if I remember right. Goode machine, although it was hard to access to oil drain
