    Most dies were for sharpening plow shares. The bottom was larger than the top go to matching flat dies and use spring tools. As for rebuild at a class years ago a new spring was always the recomended thing. The pins will be crankshafted and holes worn oval. Ream the hole and make new pins to fit holes. There may be enough shims so you don't need to replied the habit if lucky. There are several videos on LG rebuilding.

    Snip the claws and make adze from the head. Clay Spencer always used ball pien hammers as punches and they are thin around the eye.

    That's why most of my hollow anvils and swage block have sold written with a paint pen as my friends liked to price them at $15 and I did not want to return to the table to find the $ and no anvil.

    Tailgate is free but you must pay registration fee pre register is cheaper Some have trailer loads some a table, some a piece or 2 laying on ground and most have a can to leave payment.

    Location has a lot to do with price. That one appears to have sat out in weather for years. Unbolt bearing journals to see if shaft is pitted. Mickey mouse ears are upside-down on pitman shaft. How worn are ARM bearings, probably needs new spring. What does a tire hammer cost from Clay Spencer.

    Occasionally it likes to rain and get windy but we drive from Minnesota and would not miss it. I have seen anything from a rivet to a 200# steam hammer for sale. Some things cheap and a lot not so cheap but if you need something it may be there.

    Make the end to be struck taller than below the eye as the struck portion of the tool wears out first also don't make a struck tool too heavy as it takes too muck energy to make it work.
