I’m rebuilding a blower for a portable lever forge. The fan shaft is real sloppy. The shaft holes are oblong causing the fan to wobble.
what can I do the stop this? I wanted to know if I could use bushings and if so what type?
I bought a portable lever forge and I am cleaning and rebuilding it. It does not have the pawls for the ratchet wheel. What do these pawls look like? Can I buy these pawls? Can I make these pawls?
Are there any other parts in the ratchet wheel that I need for it to work.
I am cleaning and fixing up an old portable lever forge. When I disassembled the blower and removed the tuyere from the firepot there was a gasket material. The blower has large gaps and needs a gasket. What is the gasket material? I want to replace it. What should I use?
