There are no words to describe this...

I saw that a few years ago, and to be honest, my first thought was that it was kind of misleading because many folks will think that's going to make the hammer super powerful... When it was really more of a "Hell, why not?!?!" type of thing to do ;) :) If you don't over analyze it, like I do most things... it is pretty neat though. ;) :D

My second thought, was how much they spent just on CONCRETE. There has to be a crap-load of concrete under all those hammers... That 500# isn't moving anywhere other than its moving parts. I don't have the book in front of me, but I know LG called for a HUGE foundation under the 500.

Cool stuff overall! :)

What cools that engine?

I see no water or rad.

Do they just rely on oil to keep it cool & shut it down in time?

Count, if you stop the video at 2:20 you can see the garden hose hooked up to a pump. the half inch fuel line is above it but you'll notice the lines look to go in to the front of the block where the freeze plugs would be.

Nick... Just appreciate it because it's cool. lol you were that kid on the field trips to the museum who actually looked forward to learning something and not just getting outa class for the day weren't ya... ( i was too :eek::( )

Okay, Folks now you'll have to watch that video again. I can post some pics. Of the hammer as it now sits.

But the man running that is Sid Suedmeier. I think it was recorded in 1995. When Sid still had hair. (I already picked on him about that)

The engine is from a pulling tractor.

Keri is rather proud of the video.

It's one of the only 500#ers with Nebraska City on the fly wheel.

Now that makes sense. I can see how Sid would have a bunch of monster LGs sitting around.

I'd be proud of that vid too.
