I have an old general electric portable welder that I am trying to fix up in my spare time and am wondering if anyone knows where to get parts for it and if anyone has any info on these welders

Do you have any pictures of it?  I've never seen a GE welder.

sorry for some reason my computer won't upload the pictures but I will put them on when I can.

Jake,
  The black welder in my other post is a GE.

I believe the last time we were able to get parts was in the 70's

been at Dads knee with a red rag in my pocket since 1973. I wasn't always on my Green Machine or playing with my Steve Austin action figure

I had one,a '72 model 200 amp DC water-cooled welder.GE has no replacement parts or manuals anymore.You have to rebuild whatever is worn out.I had to have the starter,waterpump,and generator rebuilt at a place that rebuilds car parts.I ended up selling the welder for $800.00.All that being said,it was a pretty good, durable welder.

Do you remember what size of engine was on it? Do you know how you can find out the year?
Parent - - By Ringo (***) Date 03-27-2009 10:23
It was a Wisconsin 4 cylinder, flat head,with a gravity-feed fuel system.There is a serial number on the block,with the year of manufacture.
