New spring and toggle arm from Roger Rice. Made a huge difference and seems to have fixed the issue. Reese

Thanks for the info. That particular link arm had a slight bend in it prior to use. Probably from this issue happening with the previous owner. I called Mr. Rice at Little Giant today and ordered a few new parts. He recommended starting with the spring tension also. I'll definitely have to invest in the Litle Giant Power hammer book too.

Guys, this is my first power hammer I finally test run. It's an early 50 lb Little Giant. Watching the slow motion video I noticed the toggle link on the adjustable side striking the ram. Is there something that needs adjusting or replaced? Any help appreciated. Reese IMG_6199.MOV I can't seem to attach the video.

Thanks for the info Beaver. It's not attached so It can be moved back and forth. Oh and it's a 1951 Ford Panel Delivery. -

Can anyone tell me what this is for? Counterweight of sort? Thanks Reese

Finally safe at home in my shop. This is my first hammer so I have a lot to learn. It appears to be in good shape for an early LG. I ordered the Little Giant DVD set from Mr. Rice. Figured I'll start there before going amy farther.

Well I probably paid too much. I gave $3800 for her. I picked it up in Northern VA which is only a 3 hr drve for me. I'm in the mountains of MD. The few other 25 or 50 lb hammers I could find were located in the Midwest. I figure I would have way more $$ into traveling 10 plus hours each way and staying overnight somewhere. The hammer hasn't been used in over 10-15 years according to the previous owner. I'm still learning about it but it appears to be in excellent shape. I just ordered the DVD repair set from Mr. Rice to educate myself some more. A 5hp motor did come with the hammer too but isn't shown.

That's what I was hoping to here! Thanks for the info!

I just purchased my first power hammer. It's a 50 lb. Little Giant, serial number 4456. My question is it came with a 5 hp motor. Can I use this motor with the correct pulley size or should I go smaller? I was thinking the higher hp shouldn't matter as long as I am using the right pulley size? Any help is appreciated.
