Eric: I have a clean Buffalo Forge Model 97 Post Drill. It has the neat double pulley side by side.One is the driver. The other is free wheeling so you can slide the 2" belt over to it to put drill in neutral. Your info doesn't say where you are? Eric Sprado

Here is my #97. I think it is about same size as Larrys. I haven't hooked it up to power but use the hand crank. Slow-but works well. Any of you remember Rancho Rashneesh? You can see a No Trespassing sign in the background that I took from there when I drove over to their dispersal sale twenty years ago or so.....

Um, nope. The one I got is the biggest post drill champion made. It's maybe 5 feet top to bottom and is 300+ pounds and can not be run by hand
Whatever you are, be a good one.

You're right. Yours is bigger! I'm going to guess my press at 150-200#. I could pick it up to put it on the bracket but it made me grunt! Getting old and weak!!

ya the champion is the one ime goin with its big and heavy but ive been inpressed with the stuff champion made .. they seem to last longer than other brands .. ive got a champion hand crank version ime useing in the shop currently ... gona keep it for stuff that needs slow with lotsa pressure (like 5160 knife tangs ) also it looks good ! the shop is almost back to a place where i can start forgeing again! its nice to have some room to expand and the pavers are going to make walking around a lot nicer.
