Nothing less than a genuine Champion forge blower -- all the way from Minnesota thanks to my generous pal, Pitchy. Thanks again Lenn!
Can't wait to get it squared away and fire up the charcoal forge again, as it has been a long while.
Has great output, runs smoothly, and the scrape when you back off the handle seems to be a little play in the propeller shaft that allows the blade edges to just tickle the side.
Sound like music to my ears!

How long until you add a motor in place of the crank handle Bill?

Re: Lookee what came in the mail ...
Vall, I went to a propane forge for a while, and absolutely missed the zen-like hand cranking and whirr of the Champion.
