Nice hammer ! Good score. Remarkably similar to the one I just bought. http://yakiba.com/Power_Hammers.htm I plan to set mine up to run with a Baldor 5 hp motor. Good luck with it. Ed

I have access to a large tractor but i don't think I will be able to get it out of the garage with that. Several people have mentioned the Tow truck idea and as of now it sounds like my best option. Probably be a while but one I get 'er done, I will try to get some video of it pounding some steel. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to comment or share their opinion. Ed

Hi Guys, Thanks again for all your input and advise. I went today and was able to do a little trading in order to secure the deal. Though he wouldn't budge on price, he had a brand new Baldor 5hp motor, 3 sets of dies, pulley, mounting brackets and mounting plate, etc. that I was unaware came with it. Threw in a couple of metal tables, another electric motor, etc.. I'm happy! Now to get that big dog home :-)

Hi Guys, Thanks for the input, someone else mentioned using a tow truck company, I will keep that in mind. I have a trailer that will haul it and plan to try using large 60hp tractor to load it as it is available and free. Did have a small setback, called the guy last night to let him know I would ride up this morning and pay him. While talking realized I must have misunderstood him previously as i thought he said $2500, but last night he said it was $3500. Still not an outrageous price, but i will have to save a little longer. Thanks again, Ed

Good idea. My first concern is going to be loading and unloading the beast. Thanks guys. Ed

Thanks for the reply. I spoke with him again as he had asked me what I would give for it. I told him I had no idea, so he said $2500 with a new 5hp motor, the pulley and a set of dies. Doesn't sound too bad. Any other opinions ?? Thanks, Ed

Anyone familiar with this make of hammer and have any idea to their value? The one in question is a 50 lb'er. It has a motor, not shown or mounted. I have the opportunity to purchase but have no idea what to offer. Please click on link for more photos. http://yakiba.com/Power_Hammers.htm
