Post Driver Works Without Removing Fence Wire Clips

Post Driver Works Without Removing Fence Wire Clips FENCING Miscellaneous LeRoy Momper of Fredonia Wis built a simple time-saving post driver that lets him pound steel fence posts without having to remove the wire clips “I came up with the idea because I had about 50 posts that frost had lifted out of the ground ” says Momper “Most commercial post drivers are designed to slide down over the post which requires removing the wire clips And even then the wire is still in the way ” He welded a 2 by 10-in long solid steel shaft to the upper end of a 32-in long 2-in angle iron that’s 1/4 in thick He also welded on a 2 1/2-in half-round piece of pipe just below the shaft Two lengths of 1/2-in dia steel rod were welded onto the angle iron to form handles “I guide the post inside the angle iron until it strikes the solid shaft The half-round piece of pipe welded on below the shaft prevents the post driver from slipping off the post when pounding ” says Momper He says his post driver works so well that several other people have asked to use it on their farms including his friend Ron Lanser Contact: FARM SHOW Followup LeRoy Momper 215 Lawrence St Fredonia Wis 53021   ph 414 331-2093; leemary66@gmail com
