Thomas, THANKS! Yes, what I thought was a river is as you suggested a small push Oil button for the gear case. I was afrade to remove the cover earlier, but with your help, knowing it was not a retaining rivet I was able to remove the cover carefully with a small hardwood block. All of the gears look to be in excelent condition. Thanks again. R. Evan David

Thanks, I am new to Chat System so any help would be appreciated. as I said I am a new hammer on the block trying to build a forge. I took a beginners 8 Hr. Class at Funks Grove near Bloomington ILL this fall. The forges they had were 30" x 24" with sides and ends out at a 45 Deg angle. They used hand crank blowers. I have a Buffalo Forge Blower, the fan cage measures + - 7 1/2" in Dia and the Gear Box is oval + - 7 1/4" long and + - 4 3/4" across tapered at the bottom end. The gear box cover has a rivet on the top which I am not sure how it would be replaced, therefore haven't removed it yet. Any Help? Per your reply , Marc1 am I in the wrong location to post, and if so where do I find it? Thanks R. Evan David Scottsdale, AZ

New hammer on the block, did you find a rivet at the top of the gear housing?. Mine has one but before I file it off to remove cover is it easily replaced? R. Evan David Scottsdale, AA
