[TheForge] Bull Hammer??

[Wayne Ackman]

Thanks to all that responded.  I have a mister setup with the proper 
oil.  The sticky valve seems to be the right track as I got an email 
from Tom and he suggested that and also some cleaning techniques to see 
if there was some kind of blockage.  It turned out that some foreign 
particle had gotten into the bottom port on the pilot valve and I 
managed to get it to blow itself out.  I had had a leak on that port so 
when I reseated it, I probably introduced the problem then.  It works 
fine now.

Still curious as to what happened to the company.  My guess is they 
over-extended themselves trying to go big-time and went belly up 
instead.  Will be interesting to see if the hammer resurfaces with 
another ownership group.  It is a nicely designed hammer.
