Greenerd No 7 compound ratchet mechanical Arbor press

Greenerd No 7 compound ratchet mechanical Arbor press
For sale is a Greenerd no 7 compound ratchet mechanical Arbor press.

It does work, ratchets, and so on. Patented in December 1901 (!!!)

We received it as part of a factory closeout. I tried to operate
it and it seems to be operational on a basic level. The ram goes
up and down and can be ratcheted down. I have tried compressing a
piece of a 2x4 and it seems to press down really nicely, crushing
the wood. However, as I am not an expert in those, it is sold as is.

It appears that one green part, seen just to the right of the red handle
on the first picture, underwent a welding repair a long time ago.
The weld can be seen about 2 inches above its axis of rotation.
