The brown can on the crank bearing housing is a grease fitting. You pack it full with bearing grease, screw the lid on just a few turns and as needed you can screw down some more to have some of the grease end up inside the bearing housing...You may need to repack the can a few times to fill the inner housing completely with grease...

The lubricator on the support for the handle shaft is designed to hold grease. You are supposed to fill the base up level with grease then fill the cap up level with it, then you screw the cap on to the base just a turn or two to squeeze enough grease through to lubricate the shaft. After that, you just need to give the cap a half turn or so now and then to add more grease as needed until the whole thing needs refilling!

That machine was originally engineered to be lubricated with plain lard. The cup at the top is made so that the highly viscous animal fat will very slowly creep down over time, and the cotton packing in the lower bearings is there to hold it in place when it gets warm enough by the heat of the forge to want to liquefy, because it will hold to the cotton like a candle wick and that ensures it remains lubricated even at high temps.
@GordieGii5 жыл бұрын
Actually that big hollow cap would have held a lot of fat and been cranked down a quarter to half turn each day to squeeze a little into the bearing.
@DeliciousDeBlair5 жыл бұрын
@@GordieGii Only if it was too cold for the lard to flow on its own would you need to do that. Also, unless those threads were super accurate and tightly fitting, the grease would just as easily squeeze out onto your hands as into the little hole and onto the axle shaft, so in all likelihood, the melting fat relying on a slow bubble displacement drip would be far less messy in the long run.
@GordieGii5 жыл бұрын
@@DeliciousDeBlair I've seen that type of grease applicator on many steam engines. Obviously you wouldn't need to screw it down in a super hot application like a forge, but that is how it is used in many applications and why the cap is so deep with such fine threads. You smear the grease into the cap and then thread it onto the base until you meet resistance, and then a little more each day. I've heard it described in greater or lesser detail by stationary engineers and others at many steam shows and museums.
@GordieGii5 жыл бұрын
@@DeliciousDeBlair The threads don't need to be that tight. They are very fine and the channel the grease would have to flow through would be very long. (many times around the base) The hole to the bearing would still have a lot less resistance. Also I don't think a blacksmith would worry about getting a little grease on his (or her) hands.

Excellent Job You saved a excellent piece of history and kept it very original. If you ever have a blade come loose put a small thin stainless flat washer on the opposite side after the rivit sticks thru the blade. You have to hold it snug while you squeeze the pop rivet on. Then you have a small flange on both sides of the pop rivet squeezing the blade in between FWIW. Also If you ever want to unscrew the legs in the future all you have to do was heat up the casting with your torch the legs will easily unscrew then. I have taken out more broken bolts and pipes etc with torches than you could ever believe. I learned from a guy with a muffler shop who was doing broken and rusted to death exhaust bolts on cylinder heads. Nice job !

Manufacturers took great pride in making a quality tool up until the 1960s when plastics came in use. Now everything is disposable. Great video.

Nice work. If you are actually going to use it for forging, you should “clay” the pan. Add a layer or clay/ dirt/ kitty litter/ refectory cement to the pan. It should come up to almost the top of the pan and dish or bowl down to the clinker breaker. This will all for a firepot effect to contain you fire, move the fire up to were you can slide longer pieces into it and, most importantly, protect your pan from fast thermal cycles and keep it from cracking!

@kooldoozer5 жыл бұрын
Some points I wanted to mention.... Unless you are using sand or clay that has been dried in an oven or in a pot over a fire, there is too much moisture in the material to use it for slow cooling of a cast iron part. If the sand or clay is the least bit moist, you are actually helping fast cool what ever you are putting into it. Another point, you are not using enough preheat and heat in general to braze. You could have heated up that forge pan with a fire for a few hours before it would even be close to the temperature for brazing. Basically if the whole part (or the majority of the part) being brazed is not red hot, the cooler areas of the part will wick heat away from the brazing zone and quench, so to speak, the area of the braze. I can't hear the flame, but it looks like your tip is too small. You can cheat on preheat by brazing with the cutting tip or sometimes even the rosebud tip. Yes I have done this sometimes when I could not get enough preheat or was too lazy to wait. And to also say, with this brazing that you are doing, this slow cooling in clay or sand or whatever is not really necessary. Slow cooling is really important when welding with an electric arc. The electric arc has about TWICE the temperature as oxy-acetylene brazing. Not as much heat, but twice the temperature in degrees. This is important because brazing does not get the always high-carbon content iron to a high enough localized temperature to make it hard and thus brittle. Not like electric arc welding does. So unless you are arc welding cast iron, and you have done the proper preheat and thus want a slow cool, no need to slow cool brazing with dry sand. And I suspect if you are using wet sand with trying to slow cool your braze, you are neither helping nor hurting anything. Just not needed and if it was needed, to be effective at slow cooling, it must be super dry.

Hi Matt - Another nice job, well done! They just don't make them anymore like they used to. Have you thought about investing in a DC power source to use electrolysis? They are very easy to use, will save you breaking nuts & bolts on disassembly, it will get into all those tight spots and save a ton of money on rust remover, wire wheels and sanding discs. Timber and non-ferrous parts will still need to be removed first though. Keep an eye out for cheap, 2nd hand IBC Tank / Totes (275 or 330 gallons) that come on a pallet. You can cut and plastic weld two or more together to make bigger tanks to put your parts in for treatment. Might be just what you need for the planer, jointer & bandsaw reno's.

Мобильный горн! Впервые вижу! Вещь просто уникальная, при том что КПД просто восторгает........... Лайк на все 100%. Оно стоило того!!!...................Я бы на него пристроил на две ножки колеса небольшие с поворотным механизмом, подобно как у торговой тележки и рукоять для перемещения, тогда не пришлось бы его поднимать на пупа.............................

Another tip. Next time you use J&B Weld, you can smooth it with a brush dipped in lacquer thinner.

Great job on the resto. I've used some one inch firebrick in the bed to create a tyure like pocket for the fuel. Seems easier than a mound of coal to me. Just an idea. Love your doggie pals too. Thanks for all the work and sharing.

Traditionally they used to just pack a inch or two of damp sand mixed with clay in the bottom and let it dry then put your coal bed on top and maintain a layer of spent coal on top of that. Leaving more then enough protection from burning the bottom out.

I think the screw cap was for grease. Not oil. Could be wrong. Good restoration.
@rhealdugas43765 жыл бұрын
Yes it is for Grease. Fill it up and every once in a while give the cap a turn and it will dispense grease on the shaft.
