Shop press build
I’ve been wanting to buy or build a hydraulic shop press for years. I recently came across some free 5” channel iron from a machine skid that was being scrapped at work. It was the perfect size for a 20 ton press. I also got some free 2” angle iron for the base. I added a winch for raising and lowering the bed. Instead of the usual bottle jack like most shop presses use, I went with a 20 ton x 4” stroke cylinder and an air-over-oil 10,000psi pump. The cylinder is mounted on a trolley for the rare occasions when a part can’t be centered in the press. The ram has a reversible tool that’s 2” on one end and 1” on the other. I also made several ram tools with dowel pins: 5/16”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, & 3/4”. The one side was intentionally left hanging out because I plan to build a manual arbor press there. And of course it’s painted IH red.

Very nice build and a very handy tool! Its amazing the iron work that becomes possible when you have a capable press and some tooling.
Sure saves a lot of work and damaged parts from the BFH episodes. |

Great job on the press. I particularly like the hydraulic cylinder and the wheels for mobility. Great idea!
And, of course, it's made in the |

Thanks guys!
I plan to build a finger brake for the press similar to this.

You need a storage rack on the other side to counter the weight of the arbor press!! Seriously, a storage rack for all the plates and push blocks would be handy, amazing what tends to accumulate with these, and I still have to turn something down quite often.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
