![]() We haven't got the pump as we Need to make a whole new one from scratch, all I know is its an 8hp Single traction engine of 1897.. It's drawing number 11255.. That's all we know.. It's out there, there is a record of it..

![]() The geared down pump on an 8hp has a completely different third shaft RH bearing bracket. It is a massive cast affair and mounts the pump. It has a 2" plunger. It basically isn't possible to fit a geard down pump to an engine that didn't have one, unless you can source the corresponding "combined pump and intershaft bracket".

![]() This is actually the pump off my engine, now on another.
![]() As you can see, the plunger isn't that small. The tractors have the geared down bit behind the flywheel, the gears drive a crank about the size of an Austin 7 crankshaft in a seperate casing with its own bronze bearings, and thence drives the pump by a connecting rod. The pump casting itself has a flat bottom, and thus it would be fairly simple to make a bracket up to suit any application, provided of course it is understood the controls etc are handed. A direct drive off a eccentric with suitable throw would be fine. |
