ironwolfforgeca Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have the same hammer & still need to finish re-building it:( I was also able to run one that works in Or it did a nice job ! Main thing on that hammer are the slide's ,ck them-- mine were junk I had 2 new one's machined out my cost was $75.00 & did some repair welding on the top hammer head slide area also so its fixable. main spring is good the rest of the spring pack is rusted will make new springs for it should be easy to do GOOD luck if anyone get it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urnesBeast Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 It is pretty near me. How loud are these things? I am in a residential area. That is the most likely concern I have. I have to call him to find out if it has a motor that should work, etc... Any help or things I should ask are appreciated. Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Emig Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 As for the "How loud are these things" very is the word that comes to mind. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Those are very good mechanical hammers. Anyone in the Boston area should snap it up. Doug- The answer to your question is that it depends. How big and isolated is your slab or foundation block? How well is the hammer fastened down? What are the soil conditions, are you on bedrock or sand? How tight is the hammer, if it's really worn you will hear more rattling and clacking. As industrial tools go they are not so loud, a pair of ear plugs will give the operator all day comfort but if you are in a residential neighborhood you better be on really good terms with your neighbors.

hubgrinding Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just wondering if it was still for sale. I live pretty close and could come up to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
