kubiack Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Did anyone on here buy the 25# Little Giant hammer today at the auction in Plains TX? If so you outbid me for the hammer. I could not make the auction but sent my Dad to bid for me. I asked who ended up with it but he did not ask. I just though I'd say hello to any other blacksmiths in the West Texas/Eastern New Mexico area.Who ever bought the hammer is going to have a little bit if a project getting it back up and running. I gave it a good once over a few weeks ago and it need new main bearing, clutch bearing, clutch blocks, and pitman bearing. All of the pivots need at lease over sized pins and possibly rebored. I could not tell anything on the ram guides without taking it apart but based on the ware the rest of the hammer showed I bet they are going to need shimmed or better yet plained. The treadle linkage look mangled and will have to be rebuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
