Hi All, Thank you for all the input. I do have the line shaft, we had to cut it into three pieces to get it out of the rafters at the guys shop, but it's all there. The truck in the back is a 49 Studebaker (another project). I would like to go over to the shop in Salinas and see the # 2 that Ironmonger has set-up and running. You can e-mail me directions / contact information at goldingsforge@gmail.com Thanks again, Frank

I purchased a common sense power hammer # 2, 75 pounder, and just brought it home. If any of you have one of these or experience with one, I'm interested in knowing any tips for getting it hooked up and running. This hammer sat in a blacksmith shop without use for the last 20 years, was covered with 20 years of crud and dust, yet it has cleaned up nice and everything moves freely. The picture was taken prior to cleaning.
