INTRODUCTION
The GO-FER III is a versatile tractor for use in cutting or welding applications. There are three models/
kits to choose from, each designated for the intended application; “OX” for Oxy-Fuel cutting, “PL” for
Plasma cutting and “WD” for Welding applications. All models are all position machines, with positive
rack and pinion drive. They feature a wide range solid state speed control.
The GO-FER III Welding Kit is an economical straight-line welding travel carriage. The all position fits-all
clamp will accept and accommodate any hand held welding gun and allow the operator to position the
torch at any angle they desire. The racking group allows for in process torch adjustment of the vertical
and horizontal plane. A built in torch trigger contactor allows the operator to activate the wire feeder from
a switch on the top of the unit.
The GO-FER III Plasma Kit is specifically designed to work in conjunction with a plasma cutting system.
Its travel speed of 8-100 inches per minute (203-2540 mm/min) and its direct rack and pinion drive make it
ideal as an all position portable cutting machine for a plasma torch. The torch holder will accept any standard
1-3/8" (35 mm) diameter machine torch that has a 32 pitch gear rack. A built in trigger contactor for initiating
the cut makes the GO-FER a convenient self contained package.
The GO-FER III Oxy-Fuel Kit is used for straight line cuts and weld preparation beveling. The kit comes
complete with the exception of a torch. The Bug-O torch holder will accept any standard 1-3/8" (35 mm)
diameter machine torch with a 32 pitch gear rack. The quick-action gas manifold mounted to the rear of the
machine is used as a strain reliever for the torch and also gives the operator the ability to turn on and off
the gases without having to readjust the gas flow of the torch.
