Does anyone know anything about a Wards Arc Welder?

Question

I need to know all about this. I got it used with no information. I want to know the max welding rod I can use with it and really anything else you think is pertinent.
If there is a website you know of that could have the information I would greatly appreciate it.
It is a 110V Model 070
Wards A.C Arc Welder
Serial # 1393
Thanks for the help~

Answer 1

I am not familiar with this machine and since they went out of business it will be hard to get info without going to a welding supply shop. Being 110 volt, it is likely you will be limited to 3/32 welding rod. Check the tag on it for duty cycle. This is the percentage of welding time you can use it at one time. Example: 10% duty cycle means one minute out of ten continuous welding. Still a nice little machine for hobby welding.
