Amazingly little wear, still see the flacking on the main casting, and the ram looks smooth as glass, no ridges at all. Hard to believe a machine like this wouldn't have been worked.
All the front parts got degreased and pressure washed then into a tank of molasses for a couple of weeks soaking.
From what it took to fill the barrel there's roughly 13 gallons on cast iron. That would be about 1000 pounds, sounds about right.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
