Nick O Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I bought this forge and forge blower on a action for blacksmithing tools. The forge pan came with a forge blower (the very rusty one) the forge also came with the belt wheel. The belt wheel was attached but after about 2hrs and some elbow grease I got it off. The rusty blower is powered by a belt but is rusted bad I think the props on the fan are rusted bad to. And the blower is broken in several places. I'm missing the gear pieces but that don't matter none to me. The blower doesn't have bearings but has babit same with the belt wheel, so im thinking its late 1800s to early 1900s. I bough the forge because I need a bigger pan for my shop im building. Im going to take the other blower and make it so that it will work for the forge pan some how or another. None of the items I bought have names on them but the good blower has keep filled with oil to the pug written on it other than that there just numbers and letters on the blower.

Forging Carver Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Nice find! My dream forge is to get myself a buffalo forge with a champion 400 blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have that forge all put together if you need pics. The hand crank looks like a tiger which is the econo line of canedy Otto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The economy line canedy Otto is the hand crank with the 997 by the air outlet. But I can get you picks of the belt driven too. It was the blower for the pump handle forge you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not to be a jargon cop but it really helps calling parts by the correct name when looking for them. What you're calling a propeller or prop is an "impeller" Occasionally called a "fan." You don't want to have to try describing things at a counter or on the phone where your hand gestures don't do any good do you? Frosty The Lucky.

I love seeing how people make beautiful forges out of what looks like rusty scrap pieces. This will be a good comparison picture. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I found " the bad one" at our local scrap yard, but was missing the wheels or gears. Whatever you call them Frosty I brought it home anyways- only costed a couple dollars. Not sure if I can put it back to use somehow Evan though I don't have the "wheels".sorry frosty for the bad terminology Littleblacksith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 All metal gears and good balance. Most you have to do is clean out old gunk in gear box and re oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burninghXcsoul Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I just rebuilt that same forge although mine didn't come with a firepot so I made one out of a brake rotor. Here are some pics from the Canedy Otto No. 8 catalog. It is a Chicago Forge No. 152. The parts numbers should match. There should be a 477 & 476 on the side of each blower.
