Hey, Im just getting into blacksmithing and figured the place to start would be the forge. To that end, I found a small forge on CL for a C-note so I jumped...seemed like a good price, but truth is I have no point of reference. The blower is a "Champion" and pushes air pretty well through the tuyere ( blew a mouse nest into the firebowl when I cranked it) , but is pretty stiff to get stated . I have not had an oppertunity to crack open the blower case to inspect it yet. From the pictures provided, is there anything else I should look at to repair/replace/fix
Thanks in advance for any help
