Isn’t it amazing that those old timers who created this pump might have known what they were doing? Don’ see many of the new fangled inventions lasting as long or working as well. Maybe some of us old folks do know a thing or two. Good, interesting video. Amazing how you can put new and old concepts together and they work.

It is amazing that 100 year old pump is still in very good working condition. The modern pumps only last about 10 years. Thanks for watching!

Great video. I would assume you could use this same method to make Leathers for a Hand Pump. I have my Grandfathers hand pump and would like to see it restored to working condition. As a child I remember picking strawberries wirh my grandparents and going to the platform the pump sat on where we would wash the berries and have a cold drink of water with our strawberries. At that time it took a glass of water to prime it, in later years it took a half gallon or more, and last year I had to use the hose to get it to work. Great info, thanks for sharing.

I have only ever bought the leathers but now I know how I can make them! In the areas I work in rural outback Australia and I'm just about to fix a myers 1921 same as the one in the video 4"INCH bore ,and the washer spacers in the middle have broken as well must be a common fault

I came from Greg Judy's interview with you. I'm in South Carolina.

Thanks for Stopping By!! South Carolina is a better state. When I was a kid we used to come there and pick peaches out of the orchards.

From the UK, thanks nice to see the leather moulding process. Uses hide with an outer shiny surface I notice, not a suede cut and I presume vegetable tan leather. Great safety advice, interesting use of wood to control the plug cutter when cutting freehand. The only comment I would make is that cast iron, the original material used around the washer is very resistant to rusting. The mild steel sheet used will rust and exert vast pressure on it’s fixing bolt and laterally on the leather pushing it against the cylinder wall. This may cause failure quite rapidly. Sourcing another material for this job would be better. Multiple sheets of brass ( pusher plates from doors etc.) perhaps soldered together or better still stainless steel. Old catering kit has stainless sides and several thin sheets could be used. You might even be able to bend the edge of one disc like the leather. Some modern pumps use a disc with an outer sliding O ring. When compressing the O ring in it’s groove seals on the inner side and back face of it’s groove. The outer edge of the ring seals against the cylinder. On the suck back stroke the O ring slides a bit say an 1/8 inch and then the O ring groove in the disc is drilled so that fluid can get by. Simple when you see one, difficult to describe. A good flat face for sealing against one side and perforated on the other side. Various ways of achieving this.

You know I forgot all abut that mild steel rusting expanding. I have seen it first hand in corn planters. Stainless steel is a great Idea. I have a neighbor that buils stainless chimneysand can get some of his scraps. Do you a web source the o ring piston id like to look into that a little more. Thanks for the knowlege.
