Farmweld Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Quick question for Australian blacksmiths. I've been offered a 160lb Hercules which after a quick look seems to be in good condition. I haven't seen it running but after a three minute inspection it is definitely in good order and looks to have been overhauled before being put in storage. Everything is very clean, no scale or grease/crud buildup, and all the bolts/nuts/splitpins look brand new. It looks self contained with a three phase motor driving a belt setup to power it. My question is, how much do I offer the vendor considering I don't actually need another big hammer, but I don't want to see it scrapped, and would probably want to move it on fairly shortly? It is local (South Australia) so moving it will only be a matter of loading it on my trailer. Any ideas or offers would be greatly appreciated.

iron woodrow Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 the picture is there for all to see. looks like a nice one, and im sure if you picked it up to save it from scrap, you could offer him scrap prices? im sure if you got it you would find a buyer who would happily give it a good home, within the next year or so...... not too sure on prices though, the most ive paid is $40!
