Title: Meat tenderizer or ???
Post by: oldgoaly on February 09, 2018, 09:36:11 AM: This came with some autobody tools, looks like a meat tenderizer. Most if not all meat tenderizers I have seen are like a hammer. This is more like a potato masher. Size is about 2" cube.

So how would a handle attach? a slit in the handle end and a wedge?

With the taper a matching metal handle would work.

I'd guess meat tenderizer also.

You're taking all the fun out of it, coming up with a reasonable explanation...

might be a little small for one of them? I know the 10 ton one are bigger but the smaller 4 ton? got to look got some old Porter Ferguson stuff around somewhere. I've used the 10 ton port-a-power for holding more building stuff than car/trucks stuff.

Post by: oldgoaly on February 09, 2018, 03:11:34 PM: Well we might jut have a winner!
the hole is the right size! there is a nasty burr inside the hole, so a wooden handle is not going to make that burr but a improperly installed extension could. So will need to clean the hole up and see!
Looks better after being in the phosphoric acid for 20 minutes.
That's a 4 ton Porter Ferguson extension, didn't take me too long to find!

Ha Ha ...sorry!

Post by: oldgoaly on February 15, 2018, 01:55:03 PM: So I have determined the hole is tapered
large end .800
small end .625
length is 1.360
burr is at .750 deep and not pretty either!

Post by: bill300d on February 15, 2018, 03:07:35 PM: Does that handle fit the taper.
Title: Re: Meat tenderizer or ???
Post by: oldgoaly on February 15, 2018, 04:06:11 PM: no it does not fit, I tried it after removing the burr. that is when I figured out it's a taper.

Title: Re: Meat tenderizer or ???
Post by: oldgoaly on March 02, 2018, 01:36:23 PM: What kind of a handle would it have had?
the burr in it make it seem like someone tried it as part of a porto-power
wonder if it was cast steel? taper sand core, and it wasn't drilled out?
Title: Re: Meat tenderizer or ???
Post by: Chillylulu on March 02, 2018, 01:53:48 PM: Since it's cast iron, it can't handle impacts very well. So it probably isn't used for concrete work or as a chisel.

Looking at vintage and modern porta-power sets that kind of foot is there.

Maybe it had an adapter in that set at some time?
