Cap City Build & BS AF

Mornin All.

 

​

 

Sorry Maner! Sometimes life takes over. But this reminded me I need to buy some shrimp and cilantro! I have everything else.

 

Oh, by the way. The hydraulic cylinder I bought from Dalton for my snow blower was a perfect fit and zero leaks the rest of the season.

Thanks again for the help.

 

Morning Rob
I really like that shrimp dish. Once you make it once you will get all kinds of ideas to make it different.

 

Proving Shrimp is Brain food

 

Long list to do today but a man's gotta eat. Gonna go with the original version you gave me to start. My mouths already watering.

 

But I wasn’t much help! Raining again this morning so I’m going to start the restoration on this little jewel. John Deere 5B lawn sprayer. Early 70’s model.

 

What’s it got for a pump, Steve. Can’t really make it out.

 

Dang, I have not seen one of them in ages. Cool project!

 

It’s a small gear pump, but it will run 6 gpm at 100psi running at 1400rpm.

 

My cousin bought it new and when he passed his daughters thought I should have it for my collection. Still had original manual with it.

And it’s raining, again.

 

As long as it hasn’t been frozen & split somewhere, should just take a good refurbish, those were built to last.

 

I will, it will be a rainy day project so it might take all summer. I’ll be taking my 2 miniature tractors to a few shows this year so time is limited.

 

Pump still in good shape. Motor is not stuck either but needs rebuilt. Will be changing valves, hoses, nozzles etc. it still has original hand wand also.

 

Yea ,congrats !
