I recently bought this hammer and it seems to be in perfect order...no cracks, welds, loose sleeves, etc. Question is this..it has a triple belt sheave 10" in diameter and no motor. I have a 1750 2 hrspw motor. What size sheave diameter would be correct? Anyone else have a Canadian Giant? Seems to be a pretty close copy of the Little Giant. What is best way to install guard in front of spring...just in case?!!! Thanks in advance

America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Well, you might want to try Sid at littlegianthammer.com he may be able to help.
Aside from that, if you can hazard a guess as to how many RPM you want on the drive pulley, I wrote up an explaination of figuring out pulley ratios, etc at the end of this thread at another forum.
Hope that help!

You want as small as will fit the motor. A 25 lb LG hammer should run at 375 rpm.
