I Forge Iron

Wrought iron hook part 2


Recommended Posts

Well, the 1.5" diameter wrought iron hook that I welded worked great. I used 5" lag bolts and attached it to the post. It held the 500lb. post drill without a problem.

Now, even though the post drill looks to be in great condition and it's all there, it has problems. I cannot get the feed to work. This post drill has the normal auto feed and has a manual feed by using the handle in the front of the machine. Both don't seem to work. I believe there is something wrong in the head assembly. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

It took me awhile to get the drill to free up and turn. It turns freely now but still binds up after turning for awhile.

I'll probably just take the whole thing apart and rebuild it.

At least the hook worked!
