I have a new 200lb one I would sell. I listed it locally and got a ton of tire kickers.

China, Taiwan, and others. Look up Great Bear tools in Canada.

I’ve been looking for one since around 2002. I had to give the shear operator at the scrapyard a bucket and this thing’s laying in the pile. He said thirty cents a pound if I can carry it to the dock to weigh. I spent every Saturday and rain day at a scrapyard for years and never saw an anvil come in.

The workers snatch anything of value up. The only reason this was up for grabs was because of the crack.

Will you try drilling and welding the crack? Or use the anvil as it is?

should be easy to weld. lower part of anvil is probably just cast iron, heat that area up and fire up the arc welder.
