[TheForge] Tiger blower?

[Ron Childers]

The Kickapoo joy juice (acetone, ATF, mineral spirits, etc mix) and some
gentle tapping finally freed the gear box and with a dose of 30 wt
finally got it working smoothly. It blows air and doesn't rattle. Now a
new handle turned on the wood lathe and new pipe legs will restore it to
its long lost glory.

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
