help with  Stationary engine tarpen gen set

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi all 

 i  just got this as a project but can not find much about them on line  i was told that this place was the best  to ask 

i have added some photos of it 

i know its a generator but this one has a water pump on it to and looks factory fitted 

have you ever seen one like this it has sat in a shed since 1970

i got it for  £60 something to restore in the winter 

just finished a petter a that was used in hastings in the war as a winch but that was easy to find spare parts for 

this not so much

Hi and welcome,. Looks like a good project. I include a link to a topic on this Forum that is for the same unit, but for a Generator, so the Pump Brand will likely need to be researched separately.

Good luck with the project and let us see your progress on it.           -LINK- 

Regards.

I was going to say 'I had one of those' but Anglo Traction beat me to it...

 

I haven't seen another one with the pump on, but I always thought there must be a reason for the shaft sticking out of the generator (there was no pulley on mine)

yes its a interesting one i looked at lots of steam rally videos on youtube see some the same but no pump 

the pump needs a bit of work it's like a screw pump its like a rubber sleeve that goes around a screw and it turns and pumps water through weird setup but very interesting

the rubber sleeve is no good so got to find  something to replace it with

Unusual design!. it's based on the Archemedian principle. A bit of searchng Hose manufacturers may well produce what you need.

One point about these is that with rubber involved, there needs to be a method of priming with water etc prior to starting up from a dry condition.

 

As for makers info, It may be worth enquiring with the company. Yes, it look's like they are still in business. Here's a link to their 'Timeline' on their website-    MONO PUMPS Ltd 

Good luck.

Regards
