58er Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 I’m waiting for more pictures. They just started job today and apparently it’s mine for the taking. Not sure if it will be feasible for my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Don't let it get scrapped! If you can't use it someone can! I know a smith running an old Erie steam hammer on compressed air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If it won't fit in your shop, you need a bigger shop. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusb Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Its a 1500 pound Erie. The compressor required would be MASSIVE. That's after you converted it to run on air. She is currently set up to run on steam. To put it in perspective the piston rod is 4" diameter. If I was a high roller it would already be in my yard holding up my mailbox! If you find anyone interested and they need any info feel free to contact me, I made the big hole next to it. I pulled a 30,000 pound self contained forging hammer out of there. Pic below is the Dies, my shoe is a size 14! si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
