I'm not really sure just what all is available at the store I found. But, I can tell you for sure that the fellow selling this stuff doesn't know what he has. A large variety of odds and ends like cylinders, pumps, controllers, switching valves motors etc...
I'm not sure of the specs on most of this stuff because my knowledge is limited. I'm going to start building my own press in the near future and wanted to share this source for parts. I ordered the book and plans "How to build your own hydraulic forging press" from Don Foggs site. Jim Batson is the author and it sounds like the book will teach you not only how to build your own press, but is a primer on hydraulic theory and application.
There is also a wide variety of all kinds of different things that I've never seen before that are available in this store. Knife steel at below wholesale prices, all kinds of steel in all kinds of shapes and sizes. I bought a 2" X 12" scotch brite wheel with the large center arbor hole for $20.00!! All the stuff in the store is in new, unused condition. Sometimes still in original packaging. Lots of government surplus for cheap.
Anyway, if any of you folks need any wierd stuff that's hard to find or especially hydraulic parts, just email me and I'll see if it's available.
