    My dad had one just like this. It was one of my chores during the summer to keep the lawn watered, fertilized and mowed. He named the sprinkler "Oscar". Every night we would chat about what Oscar needed to do the next day. I kind of miss Oscar. Thanks for bringing back some great memories. I am bigtime missing my dad right now, but in a good way.

    Thanks, Dude. I'm in my 60s and never saw one of these new; when I was growing up in the 1950s-1960s they were owned by elderly people and always looked like they'd been through a war. They fascinated me, like they had a mind of their own as they slowly followed the hose around the yard and made that faint "clank" as the claw fell against one of the gears. Good to see one new-looking!

      I have actually done the exact same restore tear down and rebuild a year ago or so. Only difference I went with John Deere colors instead of factory. They not only still produce these tractors but every single part is still available for them. I love mine it will drag hundreds of feet of hose.

    This brings back memories good memories for me. My grandpa loved his lawn. He lived in Kansas and had a huge beautiful green lawn. He and his neighbor used to sit outside on warm summer evenings and make bets to see which of the two tractor sprinklers would get to the end of the hose first. My grandpa was a good man and these sprinklers always make me think of him.

      powder coat, One type of system applies a negative electric charge to the paint while it is in the reservoir. Other systems apply the charge in the barrel of the spray painter gun. The paint is then propelled through the gun, rubbing against the side, and gaining a static electric charge as it moves.
      Since the paint particles all have the same charge, they repel each other. This helps to distribute the paint particles evenly and get uniform coverage. Usually, the object being painted is metal and grounded, but almost any product can be finished electrostatically. A metal object may need to be placed behind the object to create ground or the object can be sprayed with a conductive primer. The paint particles have a charge so they are attracted to the opposite charge of the object being painted. This makes the particles less likely to stay in the air.
