Dillon Sculpture Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I never did get a fair weight on mine but it was close to 500. Much different looking than yours though, even the anvil. Its surprising they would change such large casting... Thanks for the literature, you up and running yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Patrick; if the discrepancy distresses you; you know you always can hide the off spec hammer down here at my shop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWooldridge Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 This may have been more common than you think (although an extra 100 lbs is a considerable difference). My #4 Beaudry was advertised to have a 100 lb ram but actual weight is 115 sans die; 125 with die - I don't think the ram came off a 125 lb hammer. Either way, that is a real bruiser of a hammer...

patrick Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 My 300 lb Bradley has aram thar weighs 460# and I know of another one just like it so I do think this was common for them but I know they changed over the years too because I have a spare ram for that 300 # hammer and it only weighs 325# sans die.
