jeremy k Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 why pass? all you need is a belt to drive it and some machine bolts to bolt it back together, after all it's a forge blower that mounts directly below the forge - (notice the mounting tabs). buy it a put it back to use as it was intended instead of the scrap pile filler. - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulric Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 ...again wanted to say thanks for the comments, found a local CL post last night and picked this up earlier today instead. Seems to turn/blow fine, get's right about 2 'turns' on it's own when you let go. Not sure the best way to clean the outside... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
