Hi, Does anyone have any information on the dimensions of a treadle for this press model? Hern Ironworks doesn’t carry this type, but I’m trying to figure out if one of their other treadles would fit. Thank you!

Can I ask you two more questions, Mike? Where on the treadle (how far from the rod connection) does the hook connect? Also, how long is the hook?

Thanks again!

An 8” x 12” treadle should fit a 7” x 11” press. I operated one that way for several years. Just make sure the part that attaches to the press will fit in between the sides of the frame.
