'Empire' Mechanical Lubricator

[michele g]

I'd like an 'Empire' mechanical lubricator if anyone can help.

This type was originally fitted to my Garrett portable. There is an illustration in the library section.

Many thank. Michele

Do not know if it is what you want, but the Caper trading company have one for sale at 300 pounds, see under steam, collections. www.capertrading.com, hope this helps.

Thanks Ian - alas not exactly what I would like.

I didn't state what type - I'd like a VICTOR. The whole top hinges open and there is a 'pressureless' sight glass at the front.

I could exchange a maddison - kipp or manzel if anyone has the correct thing.

Thanks, Michele

I have an Empire fitted to my Garrett tractor and they are not as good as a Manzel. Lots of Garrett tractors have been changed over to Manzel probably because they are big enough to hold sufficient oil for the day and you can easily see when it is working (or not working).

Thanks for all the help and tips . . have now got a great looking one from Steam-baz and his mates - thank you.
