100 lb Moloch Hammer Spring

[skunkriv]

Moloch, Mayer (not Mayer Brothers), or Murco. Would like to know the installed length of the spring on this hammer. Hammer at rest with the toggle arms at or very near horizontal. Also the gap distance between coils as installed.

Sid at Little Giant says people have been using 100 lb LG springs to replace Moloch springs but the ID on the LG springs is larger than the stock Moloch spring. I am trying to spec/order the right size spring from a manufacturer.

I just delivered a 100lb Mayer to a smith in Norwalk, CT it had a brand new spring mounted on it. I'll dig his phone number back out and you could call him for dimensions if you ask real nice.

Thank you John. That will be a big help if you could please. I wonder where the new spring was purchased.

there is a 100 Moloch at the blacksmith shop at Tannehill, next time im down i can measure if you dont have your info by then. you may want to stick with Moloch, Murray, or Murco demensions.

Thanks Matt. The more hammers I have measurements from the better. This is a work in progress and I have plenty of time before ordering a spring. Still have the old one also.
