  1. I have a 660 that I restored. Attached are some before and after pictures. IMG_6091.MOV IMG_7115.MOV
  2. Attached are some additional pictures and a drawing of the dimensions of the shutters.. let me know if you need anything else..
  3. I’ll take the hood off my forge tomorrow and get some really clear pictures of the shutters and some exact dimensions for you
  4. That looks like a nice one… I’ve attached some pictures of the shutters for you if you want additional information, just let me know. IMG_6400.mov
  5. Once I get a fire going in this I will post my findings …I’m curious myself.. apparently returning the hot gas back through the blower and back into the firebox add some fuel efficiency ??anyway, it’ll be cool just to see the smoke sucked back through the blower…
  6. Attached is my finished project. The moderator did not like my previous video. I am hoping they don't find issue with this one. IMG_6257.MOV
  7. The shutters do work. Now I just have to get it out of my garage..I am thinking weld up a frame with wheels :-)... Thanks much for your advise and kind words. It is greatly appreciated.
  8. I have finally finished my Forge project. Two things that I would like to add if I find them are an original quench box and a buffalo motor to drive the blower.
  9. Blower blades are all intact. In fact, the wires that are braised to those blades to support them is still in place.
  10. I am preserving /restoring a buffalo 660 Forge. Please see my video for progress. IMG_6091.MOV
  11. Thanks for all of the great suggestions. After I posted I was able to break out a small chunk. Then, with the patience everyone suggested, I was able to chip out larger chunks separating them from the cast pan. It took a couple of hours but it is completed without any casualty ( to the forge of course). Thanks again for everyone's assistance!!
  12. I need to remove the refractory from a cast forge pan in order to free up and remove the firebox. I don't want to use Muriatic acid to "eat" the concrete if I can avoid it. I have tried a chisel to break it but it is strong stuff and I am concerned about breaking the cast pan. Any knowledge/wisdom/advise from everyone with more experience and smarter than myself would be greatly appreciated.
  13. Great pictures. The hand crank blower is original to the forge. The blower below the forge looks to be a sheet metal job , probably a squirrel cage blower put together for some unknown purpose. but not original. The picture below is your blower out of a catalog.
  14. Blackwater forge of this forum posted a 6660 with both a hand crank and electric blower attached but had no pictures. PACO312 had a picture of a 6660 posted very similar to yours. If you could post a picture of the back that would be great. It should have a gas return tube connected back to the blower.
  15. I appreciate your keeping an eye out for me. Thanks in advance for all your help. Thank you for your help . It is greatly appreciated.
