TwistedCustoms Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Very cool little rig, might have been used on a jobsite, rivet makers setup maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Might look in the reprints of the 100 year old sears & roebuck catalogs as they had a number of combo units being sold as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Thomas, one of the guys thought it may be a Sears. I'll look through the old S&R when time allows ... Steve, it must be a slow grower...owner said it looked like that when he parked it 20 years ago. I'm not sure if you noticed or could tell, but there is also a drill incorporated in the front jaw. The spindle is above the screw. The handle for the drill is broken off and was lost when hauled home from the auction. He said it was left on the bumper of the truck......What's his name...on the right in the bottom pic has his thumb and finger on the drive gear and crank casting for the drill. Maybe you can tell or already knew, but the back jaw with the anvil and horn is the moveable jaw. One more thing that caught some interest was the bolt going into the teardrop opening in the base to provide for a clamp or something. We messed with it for a while and got the mouse nest out of the blower, added some oil here and there, and it all works...We wanted to fire it up, but thought best not ...until the cast iron pan was clayed. It was already broken and repaired...just a neat ole' tool Life Is Good Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 IIRC a lot (if not all) of the old S&R catalogs are available on the internet; but you would profit from a faster download speed than I have out here. Oh well I'll trade thousands of acres of empty land out back of the house along with coyotes yodeling next door and hawks chowing down on the fence posts for speed on the access at cheap rates.
