Can anyone tell me if $400 for a '55 SAE 300 with a 6 cyl Cont. would be a good buy.  It welds and air arcs good, seems to run ok, and has a remote.  Also wondering about the fuel consumption on a machine of that age.

$400 is cheap for anything that is useable.

Thats what i thought but i really dont know much about that model.  I am planning on taking some 10 inch pipe over and seeing how it does running a 6010 root.

Like Dave said, just take it & don't haggle or kick the tires for that kind of money. I wouldn't sell one that cheap. S.W.
