TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I don’t recognize it from the top photos can you get some side photos from both sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Kinda looks like some kind of automotive blower from the 3 v belt pulley, but I have no clue if it might be an actual forge blower. I'd guess more automotive or something Industrial. That guess said, not saying it couldn't work as a forge blower. The pictures dont do it a lot of justice in guessing.

ThomasPowers Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Not a forge blower unless they were running an industrial shop with multiple forges off the same unit. Why do you need to identify it? A name won't change how it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobewan Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks for the responses. I can’t find any name on it. It looks similar to some sturtevant models I have seen. Here are some more pics that migh help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 That’s interesting what ever it is, judging by it setting next to that tire it looks decent size, I’ve got a couple of big belt driven forge blowers but they all have names on them, maybe you could hook it to a dc motor with a control so you can turn the speed down ?

ThomasPowers Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Lots of other uses for blowers than for forges! Any patent numbers or dates on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I tried searching type c1 n08 blower and didn’t find anything then I tried searching for engine turbos but I couldn’t find any that mounted like that. it’s interesting to me that it has a sheave type pulley on it, personally I’ve only ever seen those on industrial machines. And it has what looks like grease cups i don’t really see a lot of things with grease cups anymore most everything has zerks. Does it have bearings or does it have bushings or Babbitt?

Jobewan Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 It has the grease cup and a plate that states you grease the bearings… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Where did you find it? My vote is it was used in some sort of industrial capacity. Does it spin freely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobewan Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes. Spins free and is very solid. No play in anything. Found it at a flea market for 35. Dollars. It’s worth that just to play with. Thinking about hooking it up to a hit and miss engine just for kicks… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
