Looking for info on this Hobart GCCF-510

[Adam Mc Laughlin]

WELL since someone asked...
what I would like to do would be to

have my generator technician friend check it out

pull the sheet metal apart
line-x the top cover
powder coat the front, back and side panels
re-etch the ID plate and the control ' steering wheel '
have some decals made for the front panel connections
install rebuilt meters ( or have them sent out for rebuilding and then re-install )
install an hour meter

etc. etc. etc.

You guys know how it is, you have seen rebuilt welding machines before.
Going to give the rebuilt Lincoln SA-250 crowd a run for their money for sure )

I learned to weld some where around 1960 with an old Hobart engine drive-have never seen a nicer arc. You're gonna love it.

I cross posted this over on Hobart's support welding discussion forums, one of their support staff shot me a copy of the manual
I am looking forward to restoring this!!
appears to be a 500 A machine; weighs in at 1900 lbs

can't wait to get it home and start tinkering with it.

I have an old hobart GB-318, and have a fairly good copy of the manual for it. Panel and generator look very similar to yours, but mine is probably older. What a wonderful welding arc! Mine has a Chrysler Industrial in-line six. If you don't find a manual for yours, I'd be happy to copy mine for you, which might be close--maybe better than none.

Did did you try to contact hobart they may have a manual on it ?Looks like a ford 300 6 engine and available parts for the motor you should be able to get easy .
Cool old machine prob 60s or 70s era !How many amps is that? D

Hi Everyone!

Looking for information & a manual for this welding machine
It is a Hobart GCCF-510
What can anyone tell me about it? I am interested in getting it running and using it as my primary machine for my mobile rig.
