The model 40 was one of the first sprinklers that caught my attention back when I was 3-4 years old. I never figured out if it was actually hitting anything to make it turn.
Nice impacts. Looks like the 35 doesn't like operating wide open. I'm assuming the drive arm is pushed back too far by your high pressure and gets caught on the trip mechanism. I haven't had that happen to me that I can remember but I do remember my pump causes some of my impacts to double tap pretty well due to the volume of water going to them. Usually the 1/4" or similar nozzle makes them do it pretty prominently. I like the setup on your #40 the rear nozzle with breakup pin and straight bore for drive . Next time I'm at the dealer I should grab another #40, hopefully one that has dual nozzles.
Thanks for your comments. I would say if you could get the small nozzle (1/8) with the diffuser pin for your number 40, it would give better uniform coverage with it having the inner sweep. That’s what in this particular number 40.
wow 130 PSI? My 2 pumps only get 53 psi on a smaller 100 gun. I wish i had 130 psi with my pumps, but im sure i'd need to beef up my stand alot or get a big cart. Also im sure my guns with that kind of pressure would be very very dangerous! I'd have to tighten up the brake on them real tight to control the force in reverse!
Yes it is quite high pressure! That is in static state with no water running….. When it’s running the pressure usually drops down to 50 to 70 lbs. depending on the type of sprinkler
@oldschoolsprinklers9000 I imagine if it stayed at 130 I bet your impacts would go both ways! I have a video of some impacts running with high pressure on. Blueberry farm and some are going backwards due to the long spoon swings! ua-cam.com/video/J_VmgVAdxEo/v-deo.htmlsi=tCGNsI_dgBkjfppf. They must have some kind of ag pump running those impacts. They looked to be 40b or 30b.

Thanks for your comments. I kinda know what you mean about it hitting anything. It could be deceiving
Cool
Great 1" 65C video! if you need friction collars I have extra sets
Thank you for your comments and the thoughts of the parts. If I decide to go and repair them, I will contact you for the parts. Again, thank you
The 40 and 65 you have there are museum pieces. Very nice!
Thanks for comments. I agree!

How old are the sprinkler
Thanks for watching. The 3/4” #40 and the 1” #65 are probably from the 1940’s/1950’s. The 3/4” #35 is probably from the 1950’s/1960’s
