Finally took delivery of my Hercules hammer on Friday, after months of getting the workshop sorted (in between trying to get work out!) i am so happy to get it into the shop and start the clean up process. Not that it needs too much cleaning as i think it still has its factory paint on it! there is just a thin layer of green moss on the surfacethat comes of real easy, It has been sat in a shed for over twenty years!! and hasn`t had much in the way of hard work whilst it was in use as there is still grease and oil in the caps. cant wait to get it running! It came with loads of tooling mainly for the production of harrows and tines.

yes there is a hole through the middle for the longer forgings and it needs a 7hp motor. I managed to find one that is a 240 volt but i many need to substitute it for a 440volt one.
