Farmall Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just picked this blower today and have started cleaning it. turns easily, and puts out lots of air. Can't wait to get the mud daubers nests out and the mouse nests all the way out..got most of them already. Anybody got a scanned copy of a Champion catalog that I could see this advertised? Anyway, does anyone have a either a spare handle I can have (5/8-inch shaft) or one that they can take pictures of so I can copy it? Thanks for any insight.

CurlyGeorge Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Use your imagination and build a handle. You're a blacksmith. You can figure it out. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Fair enough.....but I do like to keep the equipment looking good.....can't do much about the blacksmith! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Here's some pictures of my #40. You can see it is simply a near cylinder set up to take a piece of 3/4 x 1/4 inch flat bar (I can remeasure that later) and uses 2 set screws to hold it in place. I am confident that this can be made on a lathe and drill press. with a fair bit of hand filing. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks, Phil! That's what I needed. That should not be difficult at all to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I remeasured and corrected the dimension already. The flat bar for the handle is 3/4 x 1/4 inch. No reason to not use a different size though. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
