1902 Champion Blower & Forge Co. No. 400 Forge Blower (Part Two) [Restoration]

In this video, I paint all the parts and reassemble the forge blower. It is too cold here for me to put thick oil into the crankcase as it would then be too difficult to turn over. It is also too cold to seal the fan case with some silicone, so I will do that during the summer. I am sure I could adjust the bearings to make it run even smoother, but I will do that when I go to use it in its final place. Final thick greasing will be done then as well, until then, the poor lithium grease will work for this video. Champion Blower & Forge Co. really knew how to make something last a long time and still run great! My hope is to pair it with a forge table one day.
