Hey guys, Have a B-2 pullmax model B sheet metal hammer with broken parts. Looking to see if anyone knows much about them and if it would be possible to find any parts out there. The main support bearing has broken and the lift eccentric shaft has a broken collar. Most likely hardened steel. Please let us know if you have any info about them Thanks!
www.metalmeet.com/ Or allmetalshaping.com/ Despite recent membership controversy allmetalsahaping is a wealth of knowledge and resources on these machines, great bunch of members.
Running the edge of a file on the pieces would tell you if they are hardened. My guess is that the B-2 is fairly old, maybe 1950's or 1960's; which might make it difficult to find parts. That said, you probably could have the piece fabricated or machined. I'd me interested in seeing a picture of the machine and any other information that you have on it, as I've never heard of a Pullmax B-2 before unless it is similar to the P-2. Another place that you might check is with Clay Cook http://ccookenterprises.com/
Far as I know all P, T, D, N series are based on the same design a run in oil mechanism. That weighted handle??? sort of looks like it maybe this one which of course no model number??? pics are from the Metalshaper's site. I have lots of pics of P series head apart, if it will help email me at oldgoaly at gmail or yahoo I'll be happy to send you them or answer questions. Good luck with it!
