Do you think, Alan, I should try to start it right after I put a motor on it and cleaned the rust from the ram? Can I damage the machine in any ways if I do that?

Bests and thanks!

google "55 side blast forge"

Notice the different placement of the gas jet ?

search for "Another rail road anvil" and "4140 Forklift tine Anvil And Introduction" for better ways to use your rail.

I tried Mr. wpearson's  I. forge reference and did not get any specific article. In general, I have been unsuccessful trying to search "blueprints". The Hofi articles come up but the rest do not.

Regards and happy forging.
