Champion forge blower

I'll go dig into the Corner From Hell in my shop , there's a blower down there somewhere . If this one of yours is what I think it is you'll end up fabricating a nes crank shaft and bushing the case . Gears may need some buildup/re-cutting if it's got a lot of hours .

------------------------------ It seems to be in pretty good condition except that something chatters and increases resistance when it turns fast. The gears look good and have little backlash, which I checked before buying it. It may need only the fan shaft bicycle-type ball bearings snugged up, that's reportedly a wear area and has a takeup screw. Others wrote that disassembly needs special tools that can be made on a lathe, if you have one. Maybe the previous owner didn't, I think the artistic blacksmithing ethic precludes them. If I can get ahead on my monthly 10GB data allowance I'll look at some videos.

Personally I feel that text and line drawings can be more informative than most of the how-to videos I've seen. Maybe that's because I've had training and job experience as a draftsman. Haynes and Chiltons car repair manuals use photos, the factory manuals have drawings.
