The VG4 doesn't make as much power as its size might make you expect!!

The Wisconsin 4 (I forget the model#) is about 24 HP, enough to run
the hammer at idle but not under load. The Deutz is ca. 40 HP. The
hammer was originally run from a 15HP 400V 3PH motor.

The Deutz probably has six times the torque of the Wisconsin, too.
It would probably run the hammer if it were putting out the same HP as
the Wis.


I salvaged the
motor's shaft to use as a jackshaft between diesel and hammer.

Pics?
