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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
