I can give these pictures. There should be a separate forum about it nin this place. I have the Weingarten in my warehouse, but I can not handle it and maschine need it is for repair. If any literature comes to you, I'm interested in it. The principle is the same as Magee.

Carl, have a look on eBay for a member called CA Metalworks or cametalworks - I think his name is Chris Atkinson. Hopefully he’s still going but he used to make vintage tractor wings (fenders) and I seem to remember he had 2 Magee machines. He was in Driffield which shouldn’t be too far from you and he might be able to help with instructions/setup info etc.

John Deere Magee machine
 
Just a "By the Way..."
I spoke at length with one of the John Deere metalmen a few years ago. His specialty was running the Magee to make the fenders and hoods.
The big takeaway for me:
"The Magee is a wonderful machine, once it is set up for a certain operation. It will do hundreds and hundreds of parts the exact same way, every time. I have run this machine at John Deere now for over 35 years.

But I hate changing it over to do something else because of the long hours it takes, sometimes even a couple of days."
:):)

Gentlemen, I slowly get to the wire and this thread reminds me that the machine is standing with me and I do can not control it. Thank you in advance for each advice how to do it. My problem is that the machine is in poor condition. The machine is exotic in my country. Nobody know it this system. Allbody knowing only hammer.:(:(:confused:

The man at John Deere said he had run that machine for over 35 years, so I guess he meant that changing the machine over to a different operation was time-consuming for him.

Kent. It is clear. Over a common idea is to understand the basic principle. Unfortunately, I see again the lessons and hours of research that I will have to do. :(
