The hammer blows of fate are in the finale. There were three in the original score, but Mahler decided to remove the final one based on his own paranoia and superstitions. The first hammer blow falls around the 13 minute mark, the second around 17, and the third (should the conductor decide do add it back in) falls around the 27 minute mark. Give or take a couple minutes in either direction to compensate for whatever recording you have (the times I quoted are from the Bernstein/NYP/Sony recording).
