<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 252248, member: 54"]Here's the top of our old one that we bought as a manually-pumped 20-ton press. I converted it to an "air-over-hydraulic" press by substituting an air-powered hydraulic jack for the manual one, and found that the simple conversion made the press much more useful. It was also safer because you can control it with the valve that's on a 3-foot-long hose rather than having your body against the press to be able to work the hand pump.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/img_4944.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
