September 20, 20178 yr I have another foot of track that I plan to mill into a flat surface. Given that much track has an induction-hardened surface, you might want to anneal it before milling.
September 20, 20178 yr Author I found a wonderful dozer bucket pin for my anvil post in my local scrap yard. I'm going to get it cleaned up then weld it on tonight. It's 3ft. long with a 6in. Diameter.

September 20, 20178 yr I think I hear it too, I hope its not tinnitus. Nope, that's "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."
September 23, 20178 yr Author A buddy of mine works on heavy machinery, and was kind enough to bring me this section of axle that sheared off. It weighs about 40lb, so I was thinking it could go on the business end of my hammer ram. Then I can weld a mounting plate onto the end for my upper die. What do y'all think?
October 22, 20178 yr Author I'm excited to say I'm almost done with my little project. I tried to get a picture today, but it strangley blends in with its surroundings. Just one speed bump, I'm going to use a friction clutch powered by a 1hp electric motor. I just need to figure out a spindle to press up to the tire. Does anyone have a suggestion?
