The housing on this one has a grease nipple so it just has to have a bunch pumped in. If you have a bushing, then (at least with rubber bushings in cars) you shouldn't ever let grease get on as it degrades them You shouldn't have a bushing though as there not for rotating parts, but more as a small shock absorber. You might just have a journal bearing. And if you need an oil cup underneath then check your bolt torques and bearing seals cos they shouldn't leak any oil

me whos watched tim for like a year “wait it’s GREEN???”

It's amazing the quality of these older machines. For it not to be greased for years and everything is still okay. Also the old girl shined up pretty good.

Tim! you put your bearing cover on backwards, the first one, back by the rear flywheel. In the early shot, the oil nipple is on the left, then its on the right as you re-installed it. Unless you filmed from both sides of the hammer. I would check it out in case its a problem. Cheers

I noticed that too, and it was definitely backwards. The nipple orientation went from away from to towards the flywheel.

I've been working on old machinery for over fifty years, that grease fitting was common, I began replacing them with zerk fittings, in the sixties, generally they are based on standard pipe thread, 1/8 or 1/4 inch, and then you use one grease gun for the whole machine. Thanks for sharing this, what you found is what I've found most of my life, old machinery was well enough made to survive even violating basic rules of maintenance. The old machines never die.

Just the outside cleaning made the whole shop look soooo much nicer! Great video as usual. 🙏🏼

Way to go Tim - maintenance, including cleaning, is essential for any mechanical device. Especially metal working machinery!

If it is still breathing oil you can make a catch-can for the vent. When it’s full you can reuse the oil too.

The rings in the outer bearing housing are supposed to be split.

I had such a visceral sympathetic reaction to the sound of that part falling into the pan!

The button heads are good style of fitting. We set up 2 differant grease guns .We use them on certain types of machines that require food safe grease and we use regular fittings for regular grease that way nobody puts the wrong grease in a machine

man, making the drama. I can't blame ya.. it's a rough world. God bless man and keep on keeping on!

Was very satisfying to see the ol power hammer get a good cleaning!

Hey Tim, love your work so I became a patreon! Keep going, I really like your creativity and process. Thanks for bringing us along!

Wow that thing was dirty!I can't believe how great it looks now!

ps on that main bearing quite often the cork wipers are set with a little bit of protusion fort better sealing it will be a set amount so a groove isnt worn in the shaft hope this helps in future

I watched a video of a traditional Japanese swordsmith who didn't use power hammers. Instead, he had 4 guys swinging sledge hammers for him. So, fundamentally the same thing. Variations on mechanical hammers have been around for over a thousand years. For as long as guys have been swinging a hammer, they've been thinking "there has to be a better way". /I built my own power hammer. It is the better way.

Gr8 job Tim I'm so happy that there was bearings and everything turned out well 👍🍻 she looks gr8 clean n green 😀

Smart trouble shooting. I felt something like pride watching the hammer get its once every 75 years cleaning. Nice work, and what a great machine. Closing a match box was trick.✌

3:45 I felt that.

I do a lot of bearing work and I believe those are split intentionally. It lets you roll those pieces in and out with the bearing. You should have two bearing on the crank (?) shaft for the drive. One is held in place and is called the captured bearing and one is allowed to move back and forth when the machine heats up and is called the floating bearing. The bearing on the back must be the locked (or capture) bearing.

Wowsers Tim this video is very interesting. Nice repar. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Forge on God bless

Great video !

I have just subscribed to you, my power hammer brother. I have a 300 lb. Beaudry and a 250 lb. Niles Bement utility hammer, myself... that Beche of yours is superb, and green is the perfect color.

The firs blacksmithing videos I saw from Alec steele where he used power hammers I was absolutely amazed at how it worked, that led to me looking into how they work and they are truly amazing pieces of machinery

On the open vent hole you may consider some sort of filter to catch the oil spray. That'll help keep things cleaner including your lungs.

That looks so nice! Now that all that grease isn’t on the outside.

That is a high pressure grease fitting.

Hi from 9th second your works are really great keep going. Love from turkey

Awesome power hammer

She's a beaut now she's had a wash haha, looking good. Can't afford to buy an axe but very happy to be a little giant! Take it easy man!

"Never ever does it work out that I was doing something right!" Dude that's so funny. Also I know what you mean bud... LOL

Did you remember to grease that main barring?

I will never tire of watching power hammers detonate boxes of matches.

The matchbox bit made me laugh

Reminded me of the scene from A Christmas Story, "Oooooooh Fuuuuuuuuuuudge." 😂 😂

Big Green lookin' good

Tim keep your tools clean Taylor! 😁😁😁😁😁

Another great video..

Looks like a common 5/8 button head grease zerk

Ya, Mark Krause pretty knowledgeable guy. Chatted with him a few times. 👍

That was fun.

That's a button head grease fitting, it uses a block that slides over it in a groove to grease it.

Hello you put the bearing cap on the opposite to what it came off. Dont think that's good what do you think?

Bearing or bushings grease is a way of transferred/storage oil.

It must have been really funny when teachers and kids in school called you by your last name.Yo Dyck,come here 😂

Very interesting !!!!!!!!!!

Maintenance! give your stuff some TLC! Love it! Watching at 02:30! (from Sweden).

build some sort of breather for that hole, much like one for a turbo car, use a catch can setup.

A man who truly loves his power hammer...

Come on dude You must keep the spirit alive ,

We use that style of grease plug on our machines at work

Just a heads up. That wd40 will dry up within the hour but in cold weather may stay moist for up to 1 day. It doesn't make a good lubricant because of it. If you have a moving part thats kind of sticky spraying it with wd40 just breaks down the grease or oils that are making it sticky.

I noticed right off that you put the bearing cover on wrong. Go rewatch it and you can see that the grease nipple is facing towards the hammer when you took it off and when you put it back on it’s facing the rear of it. Not sure if it matters or not but I noticed it.

That is one awesome power hammer Tim , They don't make as good as that any more. (:

"Oh Tim" is the 3rd most vulgar swear word in Canada.

I can feel myself getting cancer watching you around all the grease, oil, WD40, and brake fluid. Nasty stuff. It does look much better. Cheers.

You forgot to clean the top of the hammer buddy.....the same happens for me with my kitchen cubbords😂 I love your videos....

We have those button style greasers on our jaw crusher where I work.

I want one! I am an old lady and my hammer arm ..well she ain't what she used to be, many long years ago. I don't have room for a beautiful chambersburg, but I would love to find a 50 or 100 pound little giant. Rare as hens teeth in the pacific northwest!

Looks exactly the same as the grease fittings on track rollers of older caterpillars

Did you go back and grease the main bearing? You said you would do it at the end but I didn't see you do it.

Hi Timothy, when I saw the nameplate of the machine, I saw that the machine came from Germany! I would really be interested in how old the part is and when it was built? And how did you get this cool machine? Hückeswagen is around 25km away from Cologne. I can even find an address for the Bêché company, but unfortunately no website. I myself live in Bocholt near the Dutch border. PS: "Made in Germany" usually lasts a lifetime! :-) I wish you all the best for your channel! Stay healthy!

It's a flush grease fitting!

yes

At least you didn't replace the ring with your phone 😂

Holy shit it’s green! I thought it was painted a grey-ish color 😂

Timothy, I honestly hope they are not jerking you around on the bids for your hammer. As the people who have drove the price as high as it is now, have zero history with eBay auctions , I would ask eBay for support on the auction, they can fix ignorance real quick.

hi timothy in the uk one name for those button nipples is a tecelamit type i used to have them all over my bus so i got the adapter and screwed in a more normal zerck type it now lives in my grease an oiler box ready for the rare occasion i find one of the old tecelamit ones witch are great no leaking able to withstand an immense amount of pressure without getting stuck on or popping off great vidio for us thanks

Merci bien !

I was curious what kind of oil was being ran in the hammer

i never thought that the hammer was supposed to be green ! 😆

Timothy~~~ understand this ~~~~~Manufactured Drama = Less Subscribers . Click bait sucks !! comments ??

I guess it makes sense just to use wd40 saves alot of cans but I would definitely recommend starting fluid to clean grease, oil, and grime solid cleaning agent.

Sir, you should have prefilled the cover with grease(half-full)and then put it back on and then greased it.Much easier. Kind regards a DEMOOR powerhammer owner.Blacksmith Filip Ponseele-Belgium

Lol. You shoulda known right away by the grease zeert that you had a bearing. With bushings there was typically a oil fill resistor.
