Thank you for that , nicely done!

Yes it does but the disc sander wobbles, and there is no table for it but I really only waned it as a belt.

Picked these up for $50.00 including the belt sander, I think it is a Grizzley. One of the hole punches is stamped: Heller usa

I am going to find the right threaded fitting for the opening run copper tubing some distance away and open the valve, I haven't even opened the valve yet... the threads look good, there are many farms in the area, including mine. but it is rather small for any type of fertilizing application. Thank you all for your valuable input, I will proceed with caution. I found this link: http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?455421-Correct-way-to-purge-clean-Propane-and-Anhydrous-Amonia-tanks-for-welding-cutting&s=848d222ce5d401cf8309f229a6694089

I picked up these bottles at a yard sale, not until I arrived home did I notice that one bottle has a sticker with "Anhydrous Ammonia" on it. I Have googled it and it don't look good... I was thinking of making a bell of it... The little one is a C02.. $20 for both. The photos were rotated sideways without my permission

These are from a fatal train wreck in Belmont AZ. some time ago. I don't know what part of the train they are from. You can see the crystallization in the cast that may have caused weakness. I have been using the hitch looking thing for an anvil. The hallow one hurts my ears to much when hit with hammer. Each weigh 100 lbs or more. At least two of the engines that collided melted. Any way this is my find from awhile ago

The HAMMER in question, 14 lb.s, just unpacked. Now in Central Oregon

What happened to the jpgs?

Thanks gents, I will give them a call.

I have emailed miller three times with no results.... I wanted to put a newer tig torch and foot pedal on this machine ...I just traded for it. The blue one in the photo.

I hadn't thought of that. Time for more research, google knows.... Find an old Champion Catalogue, see if it was a feature.

I will present the evedence....You decide...My opinion is that it is an oem bell that the apprentice must ring 65 times per minute (RPM). It may have been for a small rivit forge of some sort. I have no use for it but ...for 15 dollars I could not let it pass, and it is in really great shape. The galvenizing makes me think it is a rather late model.. I don't know the history, as to when production stopped. maybe I can make a lamp out of it B) <_<

I cant find a model number, and it is galvanized under the paint, it also has a little bicycle looking bell on the crank, the Champion logo is embossed into the fan cover. Has anyone seen one of these? I am unable to post photos right now.... I will tomorrow

Maybe I will call the Dodge dealership.. I fear they will know nothing.... I was thinking of making a hammer or two...I will look in my Machinery's Handbook I dint thik of that. Thank you!

I have been unable to find a reference for type of steel in steering assembly parts: balljoints, pitman arm etc... I had a new front end put on the truck ($$$) and saved the old components. My guess is they would have a good amount of carbon, I havent done a spark test or tried to forge them yet.. Maybe I am not using the right terminology in the search? Thanks for the help! In my search of JUNKYARD STEELS I found the "steering Arm" to be 4042, a rather general term. I also found this awesome reference: http://www.timken.com/pl-pl/Knowledge/engineers/handbook/Documents/Practical_Data_Metallurgists%284023%29-Sept06.pdf

Thanks for all your input, It was a foolish move to purchase this unit. Poor impulse control... I will check the recomended parts... :)

Riland doesnt exist any longer...sadness. It was only used for about an hour total. Nothing chewed or obvious, therin lies the problem....I am searching this area for a OCD electronics guy that might find this a chalange. I will continue my search...

Well it still does't work.... any help?

It's been awhile since I checked this thread but you pinpointed the problem!

What a great Idea, I have a coil spring from BNSF Railroad that would work fine for that, thanks.

Thanks for this "0.7854xd squared" and all the other most valuable data. Inspires me to take a class in hydraullic theory, I apologize for monopalizing the thread. I will do more research.

Cross Brand...one 6" stroke 2.5 bore 2500psi... one 12"stroke 2.5bore 2500psi. That is all I know, I'm looking for some numbers but to caked with scum, I need to soak in solvent. I would like to know how much pressure thay are able to exert, (or is the 2500psi the result) for a press or hammer but dont have enough data. Can hydraulics be made to be pnuematics

@SMOOTHBORE. For what it's worth ..... I guess there is no way to date this, but whatever it is it has a very romantic history I'm sure.

Most of the iron in the truck was payment for welding services, some from scavaging, I am moving it to the new shop and out of the garage. The hook was a "JUST GET IT OUTA HERE..." thing, I can only guess its intended use. My girl friend is going to use it in the horse stall for bridals and such, it looks to be wrought iron, I notice some striations, (nomenclature?)

That is a fair price, I will do a web search. This is the last burner I made for a smelter.
