irnsrgn Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I finally found the pics. It has the latter idling device on it, so it must be a 60's model, one hint, the generator does not cool well if doing a lot of welding without the side curtains on it. I don't think the engine revs to hight idle when you press the trigger on a power tool, but they did make what was called a grind ease that can be retrofitted to the machine. Currently I think you have to pin the idler device in the high idle postion and turn the rheostat to 100 to use power tools. I can show you how to rewire it if you are lucky enough to find one of these old "grind eases". I also put homemade murphy switches on my usit that will shut the machine off if oil pressure gets low or it overheats, with standard off the shelf parts from an automotive store.

brucegodlesky Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Wilkinson anvil. 183 under the heel. Starting the yr off right :-) I had to give $20 for it :-) Edited January 4, 2009 by brucegodlesky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TASMITH Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks Jr. There is a low oil pressure shut down switch already installed. I'm not sure about a shut down for overheating although there is a temp gauge on the engine to monitor it though. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McCarthy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Lucky me. In the back room of a local junk store I found a perfect 4" Columbian leg vice. It didn't have a price on it and the girl running the store said she would have to call the owner. He asked her what it was and she said it was a dirty oily hunk of metal and that I called it a leg vise. With the phone to her ear she looked at me and said would $25 be ok. I couldn't get it out the door fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

element Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I got a 4 inch post vice for 125 bucks wohoo:D Its in used but not abused condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Okay, it's probably miscategorised, but darned if I can find the right thread, so... Last week I was at one o' my favourite flea markets and nabbed a nice...not beautiful, but NICE...4# hand sledge. Got it home, cleaned it up a bit and, sure enough, that logo was sorta familiar looking...it's a four-pound ATHA! Doggone new handle cost more than the hammer...which I got for two bucks!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Last week on monday i got a new post vise, its a 5 incher and was it great condition, made a workbench for it, used it for twists and i like it, only prob is it moves a lil where the mounting bracket hooks up the the c bracket, i will try and wedge it soon, pics below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The pictures are pretty dark, I couldn't see any details. However tightening up on the wedges should snug it down for you. Even if it takes more work than that it's a great score Brandon. You just can't beat a good post vise. Well . . . You can but . . . Uh . . . Oh, you know what I mean.

tech413 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I found this block at work in the scrap pile, I think once I weld a post on it, it'll work as a nice little swage. Sorry I could only find a beer cap for a size comparison, didn't want to go outside.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 a little better Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I tried massaging one of the pics and it didn't come out as well. Still can't see enough detail to have a chance of saying why it's loose. Probably the wedges but sometimes you need to make a new one or make a new yoke thingy the wedge goes through. I had to make new wedges and straighten the yoke thingy for the 4" I rebuilt this summer. Now it mounts tight as you could please.

Sabre Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 guys, ill take better pics tonight, that way you dont spend any more time trying to make it out....i was night when i took them, sorry about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Tip I learned, drill a 1/8" hole in the wedge after you get it tight close to the outside of the yoke on the small end and drop a cotter key in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascalou Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hello Sunday morning I've bought the anvil to flea market it is 1913 and weighs 115 kg in good condition Article rare find at a reasonable price you have flea markets in the USA ?

Frosty Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Nice score Pascalou! Yes, we have flea markets in the US and you're likely to find most anything being sold. Not many double bic anvils like yours though. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascalou Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thank you Frosty This anvil is the French model one finds the model English with the rectangular table and the round horn The more compact German model with a buttress to drive back metal in bottom The American model is untraceable in France I know only shoeing" Dan "one American marshal installed close to at home which has one of them. I am content" Dan" speaks French as me I speak English :confused::confused::D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt87 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 yeah that is a cool anvil, and here I found a 2' piece of railroad track that was exciting enough for me... wait until i find my first anvil! You've already got a larger and more sophisticated anvil than was commonly used for several millenia of ironsmithing! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
