Wilt-O-Matic

[pandapike]

So a few people asked for an update when the wilt-o-matic was done. Here it is as you can see it was bought with extensive damage the previous owner had broke off the intake inlet and drilled an additional line which I plugged and repaired the original line and built a custom air foot pedal system since it didn’t come with one one as it was missing the hydraulic pump and pedal so until I find one it had custom air tank and foot system.

You did a great job. Any chance you can post a video of it working?

 

[pandapike]

can’t seem to find a way to upload the video on the page.

It’s not going to have the same psi that the hydraulic pump would but it works. The whole system minus the pedal(not the components around it) which cost me $16 I had in the shop.

Wow that’s neat!

Very cool that you got it functioning, nice job and good luck finding all the correct parts!

Shame you have to work on that awful bench too. Love the pop up stop to the right of your vise. I'm thinking about cutting one into mine.

Oh if you would have seen it when I got it pos would have been appropriate. It had dry rot watering damage missing draws chunks of wood missing etc. I even cast new handles for the draws.
