June 1, 201412 yr I've seen the top of the frame that holds the main shaft break off when dropped. You are lucky!
June 1, 201412 yr Take off all the old pulley center it up in a lathe turn a shoulder to bolt a 2 groove v-belt pulley. I have fixed 2 this way it's a good fix Do you still have a functioning clutch or does it change to a slip belt clutch?
June 7, 201411 yr Author Got the old pulley welded on for $45. Dollars. Couldn't quite figure out where to get a pulley to put on after turning a shoulder. The welder said it was good cast iron ,no sand in it . If this breaks then I will pursue the other option of finding a pulley with 2 grooves to have machined on. Yes, I am very fortunate to have only broken the pulley. Will let you know how it works after installing.
June 7, 201411 yr Yup very fortunate. If it had broken a person the repair costs would have probably covered a working Chambersburg!
June 27, 201411 yr Roger Rice bought Little Giant from Sid S. Some years ago Sid rebuilt my 25# Moloch. It needed parts made and Roger fabricated them and Sid installed. I'm currently looking at another mechanical hammer and emailed Roger. He called me the next day. Very nice fellow, does great work. When I was at their shop (some years ago) they had numerous hammers which I assume either were being considered for rebuilds or for parts. James
