[TheForge] Tiger blower?

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

If it's sincerely frozen. degrease and use the electrolytic rust removal method 
with a battery charger and a solution of washing soda.

The tiger is the same design as the Cannedy-Otto blower. If the gears are
good then it'll be a good blower.
Disassemble completely (I use PBlaster from the auto parts store to loosen
everything up) and clean real good.
Reassemble and use new oil. Hopefully, it'll crank and blow good.

Does anyone have any information on an old hand crank blower that has no
markings except "TIGER" on the mounting bracket? It was "froze up" and the
atf and acetone, etc mix loosened it a bit but although the fan will turn
the crank shaft doesn't...It was rescued from a junk pile in Texas by a
friend, but is it worth wasting time messing with it? Thanx. Ron C
