  1. Hello to East TEXAS. Thank you for the information. I will clean up the machine with kerosene or diesel as you described. My location is Modoc County in the top northeastern corner of California, way off the beaten track. Howdy to you from my corner of the world, and thank you for the welcome. I will appreciate any information about coal or other smiths in my area.
  2. Very good. There is a set screw type thing, four sides easy to grab with a crescent wrench, at about 4:00 or 5:00 just like you said. It started to come out real easy, shiny threads and all. I stopped from unscrewing it all the way because it felt like there might be oil in it already. There is an identical set screw at 12:00 that came out just as easy. I'm guessing this is the fill hole. Thank you for the information.
  3. Right on! Good call! Thank you. Now if I can just figure out how to work the thing. We have some chunks of coal around the place, here, where somebody before us used to do some forge work. I also need to figure out how full of oil I should keep the machine as I am using it.
  4. I am brand new to this site. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Today, I bought a forge. I've always wanted one. Now I got it. I've done some Google searches that resulted in some images similar to mine but not exact. I'm mostly sure that this forge was used to make horse shoes. I'm curious to know what kind it is. On the blower case it says, "Keep filled with oil." How do I get it started? Where do I get coal? Thank you for your time. David
