Legba Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Picked this Champion Rivet Forge/Blower up yesterday for $63 No cracks and solid throughout. High desert is low humidity and items don't rust much around this area. Blower was frozen solid and it had around 6 wasp nests in it. The owner bought it as a yard decoration years back and left it setting outside for looks. Worked on it till 0100 this AM and the blower now works perfect. Still need to build a handle as that was the only missing part on the blower, and will need to build a shield as that part is missing. (small piece of it can be seen in the photo. .

Legba Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Got to love that Marvel mystery oil, and industrial cleaner degreaser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I love Marvel, I used to put a couple drops out just for the Wintergreen scent. Just do NOT put Marvel Mystery Oil in a hydraulic system, it tends to eat O rings, hoses and seals. Nice score on the forge. Frosty The Lucky.
