Dismantling a Pullmax machine
Hi guys, does anyone have any knowledge on how to dismantle a Pullmax machine? I have recently purchased one and unfortunately dropped it nearly wiping out my long suffering wife- when it fell it smashed the terminal box on the side of the motor requiring removal of same for replacement of sheared off wires - it is a very old machine with the only identification being Pullmax type Medium No.61307 - i can remove the motor bolts but can't separate the motor from the clutch - I have sent a number of emails to a Fay butler who markets a book supposedly telling one all you need to know about Pullmax ( In the USA) but they all bounce back
Please advise if you can

Hello Alf,
Without pictures of your machine it is difficult to advise !
Whilst I have heard of "Pullmax", I can't say that I have ever seen one.Best Regards:

This came to mind when he mentioned Pullmax, they are normally used in the sheet metal/panel beating industry. I could be wrong though and he could be talking about something totally different.

Sheesh, If that was what Alf was shifting, no wonder it nearly took out his XYL. It looks really heavy.

Took some photos today but now can't find them - the photo Com_VC posted is I believe a later model than mine and when I find my photos I will post them but in the meantime I have found how to remove the motor from the clutch assy. so it is off to my motor man for repairs -will keep you posted

Post ended - I find that what I have bought is a plate shear which will cut plate up to 5/32" thick, it obviously will not form louvres, planish and shrink panels or do any of what I thought it would do - my motor man says the motor is an ASEA and about 40 yrs. old - I found a duplicate machine on a Mason strange auction site (finished) but don't know what it sold for - I paid $200 for this scrap metal plus repair to the motor- Oh well I just bought a Beaver mill for $300 so you lose some and you win some???

Hey Alf,
I wish my shed was bigger, I'd take that piece of scrap off your hands. It does some amazing work.

Many thanks Phil for linking that video. I had heard of "Pullmax" but never actually seen one. What a brilliant and versatile machine.

Hey guys, Don't confuse Phils' video with the machine I have - What I have is as far as I can see purely a plate shear or nibbler and unless I find out otherwise will not do louvres or planish metals -watch this space

I have instructions in the stash somewhere for these machines.
Pics would help identify it.
Also some for a Vibrasheare?
The agents were in Ryde, they left a lot of Eckold tooling when they split.

you are correct Com_VC and if you watch some of the American shows such as Kindig It customs one can see one in action - basically it is a like a big 'G' clamp made from plate with a fixed bottom anvil and an upper tool which reciprocates up and down which according to how it is set one can planish high spots or shrink edges by pulling down on the material - not a great description I know
