Yesterday I put up a picture of the bearing separator I got with a press I bought at live auction in recent weeks. So here is a picture of the actual press. I bought this on spec not knowing if it worked or if I could use it. Just thought it was a cool old machine so I bought it. It is not hydraulic, it is pneumatic, and I could not figure out how it could work on standard compressor pressures and still do any type of heavy jobs. Getting it home was the first chore. The very nice man who loaded it was afflicted with Alzheimers (really!) and had to be shown periodically where the controls were on his forklift. Got it home where I have no forklift...but that is another story. I hooked this up to my Makita portable compressor and plugged it into a convenient outlet. It has a red and a green button which I assumed were off/on switches. They are in fact both ON switches and have to be operated together to make the press work. I tried it on a bent mower blade and it pressed it flat. I have a finish mower with rear trailing wheels and the wheel arms are 1/2" steel. Both were bent so I thought I would try the worst of those on the press. I was shocked when it flattened that out also. The ram comes down very quickly and no hesitation. So I am very much liking this press. Various documents say Parker Fluidpower, Otsego MI. The press table is still off the press in the picture. It weighs around 100# and did not want it on there while unloading. If anyone knows anything about this thing I am interested in learning.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
