thanks man... where i'm looking i can get a 2 horse for 200 and a 3 horse for 300. might as well save the 100 if i can and put it towards building a new forge it would rock

hey guys.... just bumping this up.... i'm about to finally get this thing working... i think any suggestions on what size motor? i have the old manual on the guided helve hammers HP requirements but not the normal helve hammer. i figure they say the 30# is 2HP and the 50 is 3HP and 75 is 3HP, should i figure 2 horse for the 40? or 2.5 maybe? let me know what you guys think. thanks

awesome guys. thanks i emailed him and he asked for some pics... we'll see what he says once he see it justin i say we go on the road trip and steel the hammer anyway. nothing wrong with a backup
