Good vid! What is a "bucket" and where to get?

Great video. I have an old Davies pump. Looking forward to the service kit arriving. Thanks.

Well said

Mean lam rebuilding the pump

Great job! You helped me a lot with my old fashion pump. Is there a way that I cutis contacto you, email or something?

kindly arrange to share any videos pertains to the replacement of bearing and shaft of the top pulley for our reference and guide please

#2 is a gardening tool often used for pruning bonzaïs. # 3 might be for cutting the insulation on heavy electrical cable before stripping. #5 is a bike spoke tightener (but it makes for a cute little hand vise).

Great video! Have you ever heard of a Trupar piston pump? I just bought one for $40 and looking to overhaul it. Where can I get the washers and other packing materials? Thank you!

Very well explained in detail. Thank you for your contribution.

This video was very helpful for me as I use a piston pump drawing water from a standpoint to supply water to my cottage and I learned a couple of very important points about how to prime the pump in the first place and, also, areas where the pump might be taking in air which impedes the efficiency of the pump. The comments in the video were clear, easy to understand and very helpful. Many thanks.

Where did you get this done I’m also in Australia and would like to restore a machine

Is it wise to change pump gearing by altering the size of the pulley which can increase the rpm? Kindly mention pros and cons of doing so.

it was nicely built. do you have a diagram for the tapered jig? thanks

Loving your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience ! I don't have the same pump (macewans No 1) 2 3/4" , but I've started my restoration journey and applying concepts from your videos has helped endlessly. Hopefully it'll go back together and work in the coming month.

Thanks for sharing.

Do you know of a place I can by the springs for the valves?

What’s the cause and solution to one of the valves on top (discharge valve?) causing suction rather than discharging?

Hello, I want to repair my Myers manufactured in the USA, I am from Mexico and I am interested in buying the spare parts, is there a way for it to arrive in Mexico?

I have a similar pump bearing the brandname 'Dangar-G-Malloch' and it was used to pump discard milk from a dairy to say a piggery. I'm going to renovate it then use it to pump water so I may have to add a seal to that brass piston - maybe an o-ring. Not possible to use a bucket, either leather or polymer, because that would block the valve ports within the piston.

cool

i got 3 pumps..using a 365 duro and have a 255 duro and sears homart 390 spares all ready to go

I thought about making one of these, but instead decided to use the approach used by Myford Boy in his UA-cam video for a power x-axis table feed. I used a Stepper motor and timing belt controlled by an Arduino. Still in the testing phase, (video on Instagram) but it looks like it will work well and I think my design has some advantages over the commercially available units. Also, I have see gas struts added to the knee to decrease the power needed to raise the knee, in a UA-cam video of a CNC conversion of a Bridgeport. Thanks for posting this video. Very useful information. Regards

i got a sears piston pump works great

i got a Duro piston pump..it pumps good with a water hose running in the suction end but when you hook it to my water line its as if it can handle the pressure and does not hardley want to turn..now it has a 1/6 hp motor and windings look like new inside..it had a real small pully on it so i put a 2 inch on and it does spin faster when i plugged it in,not hooked to water line so i never tried it after this....what do you think is going on?maybe motor too small?

Your videos are excellent! Thank you so much for doing them, there aren’t enough explanations such as these for such commonly used pumps. Cheers!

Will this fit Myers pump. I'm trying to find out, & purchase. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the video, very helpful!! My question is, if the inside of the pump is really rusty, is that ok? Do you try to clean that somehow? Thanks!

cool

Hello I have one and I'm trying to find a solution on how to run one of these, would a solar powered 0.5 hp motor run one with no trouble?

Thank you for posting now I know how to rebuild my two cylinder Fairbanks-Morse water pump.

Hi, I am restoring a Powamac pump, can you let me know were I could obtain parts.

So what is a going price that works?

Honking RPM with such force can pull wood through at > 1fps

Do you have any information on the crank end? Specifically mine needs rebushing

The fourth tool is a wheel spanner used to open and close valve hand wheels onboard marine vessels. They were very common on Royal Navy vessel and I surmise the Australian Navy would adopt them.

At what depth would these pumps pull from?

Just found this content and really appreciate it as I’m getting ready to do a resto on an old American made model. I really appreciate you making these videos. It gives me a much better idea of what I’m going to need to look at.

Thanks for the very comprehensive description of the overhaul procedure. You answered all my question in advance!!

My pump is pumping OK but, there is lots of hammering on inlet pipe which shakes quite a lot. Any suggestions?

video too fast. Should say what size socket etc but have to watch several times but ok

I just got two Ajax pumps the same as this and a southern cross pump for $40 at local market..

I want to run my Deming pump with a Dankoff DC motor that came with a solar pump. Unfortunately the motor runs the opposite direction from what you recommend here and also from the arrow on my pump. The motor will run backwards, but I'm not sure whether that it would last. I could turn it around, but then I lose the use of the nice built-in platform and tensioner.

Thanks for your videos on these great old pumps. I'm rebuilding a Deming pump. I can get 6 gpm with no back pressure and about 3 gpm at 60 psi. But the gaskets that I have been making out of gasket material and permatex are not holding the pressure. What do you use for gaskets?

👍 super work , thanks bro.

This is very nice pump but test water pressure

Thanks you guide me

Thanks for making this video!

what are your thoughts on grease in the gearbox instead of oil?

Hey Shedasaurus! Friggen awesome video - this is the ONLY place on the web that shows what you do. Question for you - I put new gaskets on the body, but it's still leaking. I think it may be due to the pitting on the body. Can I put silicon on either side of the gasket and tighten it up? Need to stop the drips..
