September 2, 20205 yr I tried to respond to a question by tkunkel concerning a burned out 25lb LG. My computer wouldn't let me answer him in that forum, so I thought I would put it out here, and some others might get some good from the Knowledge. Years ago, I bought a 50 lb LG that was in poor shape. So I found Sid Suedmeier and his company, bought a new main shaft, found a source for Babbit, and bought a book by Richard R Kern. Do yourself a favor, and buy the book, The Little Giant Powerhammer, ISBN 1-880173-02-6. For sale on Amazon for around $50. For sale elsewhere for much more. If you are a black smith, none of the work involved in restoring the hammer should be beyond your abilities. The book provide a plan and examples by way of pictures. And in this day and age, with the internet, added clarification is easily come by. Good luck, and keep us posted CZ
