I'm planning to look at a 14ga, 6' Niagara Mechanical shear. The sellers bought it as a running machine and quickly realized they needed at least a 10ga machine to do the work they planned to do. As far as I know, they never actually put power to it and used it.
It has been in storage for several years, was stored in an unheated building with a leaky roof, is currently sitting out in the open and the asking price is just a little North of scrap.
Is there anything in particular I should look for/at in doing a quick assessment before dragging it back to my shop?
Alternately, does anyone have a running 48" Mechanical or Hydraulic Shear good for at least 14ga in the Northeast looking for a new home. I have a 48" Pexto 152 jump shear now, but unfortunately, disability has made it difficult for me to use.
