51 Papy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Any thoughts? I'm considering buying. 1830-35 because it has a pritchel hole and correct logo. Someone welded a tool in the hardy hole on the top. I'm going to face time with the owner this afternoon. The weld looks to be mig. I believe after some research that this age of MH has a multi piece face. Owner has not done any kind of rebound test. The anvil has clean edges and has not been used in a while. Other than having the owner bounce a hammer around the face and welded area what else can I do on face time? Not sure if the owner has a ball bearing. What kinds of problems am I getting myself into? I'm not real worried about being able to get the hot cut out. Just time and care. This anvil is a fair distance away but the price is pretty good now. Might get better might not be worth the drive. About $2/lb US now. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Papy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 To me it would all depend on my inspection, what the face sounds like and rebound. To me a fair distance is about a three hour drive. At $2 a pound sounds like that's a good price depending on condition. What does it weigh?

51 Papy Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Irondragon 1.2.10. 178 marked. Closer to 4 hours away which is not a big deal that's an average day at work. Face has a little bit of sway no big deal just worried about the welded area and how much hardness it has lost. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
