A friend of mine recently upgraded his 50# Little Giant and asked if I'd post this one up. This is an extremely old style with many upgrades. First off the sow block has been cut to allow the use of the replacement sow blocks and also allowing you to feed your work at an angle. Originally the dies were set in line. That's the reason for the hole. Grease zerts have been added to the clutch collar and treadle pin. All bearings are in good shape with plenty of shim. Also dual treadle rods have been added for better clutch engagement.
Several items to note though. Being an early hammer it has a single bolt main bearing on the front. He is not offering a motor. A piece of angle iron has been welded into rear ram guide. Having looked at this I feel it was added to keep the ram from striking the bottom of the fly wheel. Most folks just cut off the rear ear on the ram to make proper clearance, but this was an interesting fix.
I've operated this hammer and it works flawlessly.
He's asking $1600.
Feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to answer any questions for you.
