I just scored a couple of sections of overhead line shaft complete with bushing blocks and an assortment of pulleys in place. Look like about 6' sections with a coupler. Need to go remove from barn where auction was. Anybody needing this or know of somebody who does? Don't know what it is worth but I'd share for what's fair.... Eric Sprado

Sounds great.. My Little Giant 25 is exactly 100 years old this year! My shop has wooden floor about three feet off the ground so I'm getting ready to cut a hole in it and pour a concrete pad up to floor level.

Unless you REALLY want a concrete foundation for your 25# Little Giant, you probably don't need one. That hammer only weighs about 800 #. You can just make a wooden platform and bolt it to it (maybe 4x4s or 6x6's, tied together with threaded rod). If you need to beef up the floor, put in some posts.

Hi Eric
I bought all the tools from a blacksmith shop that had a line shaft and have I think it is 3 I guess they would be bearing holders and stands, also a helve hammer that was on the line and the drill press. I am cleaning up my mess(oops I mean stuff) and have them stored somewhere if interested.
