Aveling feed pump
 

I am in the (sloooow) process of rebuilding an Aveling (9212) from a mixed collection of bits. You can laugh at my efforts on our website www.essexsteam.co.uk

The boiler is now close to reassembly and the pump needs reassembling. It is a R10 pump (2 chambers) and I need some drawings/sketches/photos or whatever as the internals are all missing. I am now stuck as I can't refit the front tubeplate without fitting the pump, as I would like to fit the carrot bolts and pump while I can still access the inside of the barrel.

If anyone can help with any info I will be very grateful

It looks like you are doing a good job there John.

It is possible to fit the carrot bolts that hold the pump on when the tube plate is fitted as this is what I did when I boxed my A & P roller.

Sorry I cant help with the pump.

James C might be able to help you - he has machined a number of Aveling pumps and produces a series of new A & P parts including clacks, safety valves, tender valves etc. - any brasswork. Send him a PM and I will tell him when I see him next.

I have the all patterns for a complete R10 pump. PM me if these are of any help.

While on the subject of A&P pumps, does anyone have one for an early R10 that has the eccentric rod on the flywheel side?

Douglas

<Steve> Thanks for your comment - I can now see that refitting the pump is possible with the tubeplate fitted.

<Michele> I will try to PM James C

<Douglas> Thanks - have PMd you

Anyone got engineering drawings or just some photos of a disassembled pump? If so please PM for email address

We will soon be in the same situation as John with our Aveling 2760 after the pump has been weld repaired as another question there is over an1/8" clearance between the neck ring and plunger and 1/4" between body and plunger how tight should this actually be is this why A&P pumps are not rated
Thanks for your help Mike
