monstermetal Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hey Larry, where do you get your babbit material? I am going to need to pour new babbit for my commonsense hammer in the near future I got it from my dad.... I think he has some he will sell and ship, How much you need?

Richard Furrer Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 MM- Sorry, didn't mean to out you. If it's any consolation I won't be bidding on it as I'd need to build a shop addition to house it and that can't happen till I build the wife the horse barn I've been promising her for the last 5 years or so. Good luck with the bidding. I had my eye on that tool months ago..spoke to the seller. We could not come to a price. Question: Where is the treadle counterbalance and the dies?

MattBower Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 If I had that machine and you had a feather....well, nevermind. But we'd both be tickled. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt, I understand you point, but they claim to have run the tool and its in working order.....I would have liked to have seen that....maybe ask them for a video? I have heard of the ram cylinder blowing out the tup, but have not seen it...this may be my chance. Nie job on the KA Larry! I look forward to seeing what you do with it...well part of me does..the other part is jealous. Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I told you we needed a new air circuit for control. Glad to see ya got it going. Good to see it running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Here is an outline of the circuit we want. It needs to be hooked up so the spring in the main valve makes the ram go down. Then we hook up a small air line to the other side that makes it go up. We have a tee in that connection and run a line to the foot valve. Stepping on the pedal will bleed air from that side allowing the ram to go down. Will need a needle valve in the small line to control how much air goes into the pilot. Guess I'll wait till tomorrow to start bidding on the Nazel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry, I hope it all works well. Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrystagmer Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Im not the buyer, its just coming here to live. I dont know if Mike talked to them about it yet or not. I'll put up thread after the weekend so we can stop this one. Dave Hammer will be at the hammer in i'm attending this weekend so I'll get to chat with him a bit about it too. Mike did seem to have more info based on the serial number. Sounded like its not run in sometime from what he could gather. Nice year for him. He just bought a 50 kuhn as well.
