Fear the Yoder!

Like this machine, old english wheels also had large massive castings. Most of the modern versions of these machines are not as stiff as those older ones were.

I wonder if that is the same "Yoder" company that now makes logging machinery?

I've always been attracted to older industrial machinery.I had a custiomer in the Fairfax Industrial district that did aircraft work during WWII and was doing molds for Weld Wheels.They still use the same machinery.

This is a Double sided yoder a friend had. One side for shrinking, and the other side for forming.

Was used in an airplane factory way back when

I got to play around on a yoder for a few months...Its defiantly a workout, and a machine to respect as others have said... Id love to have one some day...
