age of Champion power hammer


Recommended Posts

I have a Champion no1 power hammer. I have replaced the guides, main and aux shafts and all the fastening hardware.

The dies are in great shape and the springs are in perfect condition.

I have mounted it on a 3.5x4' 1/2" plate and mounted that on a Doug fir 8x8 platform that is through fastened with 5/8 threaded steel rods, a fairly stout mount even without bolting to the concrete floor.

I've also made a new belt and moved the main belt pulley/ sheve (sp) to the rear of the hammer, to allow the motor to be mounted on the deck behind the hammer.

The dies are parallel to the hammer (for and aft) not at an angle as some others.

Question? Does this position mean an older hammer??

looking forward to getting it running next week!

Thanks in advance!
