I picked up this KR Wilson 75ton press last week. When I got it back to the shop and put it back together (had to be disassembled to fit through the previous owners door) It would not release pressure under load. After tearing down the pump and valve I found that it was missing a linkage that operates a ball check. Fabbed one up and it works like new. As I mention in a previous post the gauge was broken and not original. I took it off before these picks were taken.
The built-in arbor feature is great. You can get up to full pressure in seconds. Seems like the bed winch and pump are far superior than what you see today. Now I just need to find a gauge and paint.
