Old Pump
3 Attachment(s)
Anyone ever seen anything like this before? This was in the attic of my grandmothers garage, found when we were cleaning out after she moved in with my aunt. It belonged to my grandfather, he passed away many years before I was born. I know he used to have a large garden. My dad said he had a David Bradley tractor with lots of attachments, but was sold years after he passed. He also thinks he may have used this pump with either his lawn mower or the DB. But no one knows for sure. It spins freely, and I’d like to try and use it, even if it’s just once. I’d guess it’s from the ‘60s. Little to no info online. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hard to say who made that for Sears. Better lube that seal up good if it’s been sitting. I can’t tell what packing it has but have water in it before you spin it up.
Hope it still works. |

The pump will need a foot valve or a check valve in the supply line because the pump will not pump air. Without water to cool and lube the seal, it won't last very long.

Can you get a close up of the tag?
Thanks Jeff |

Also, found a company “Ace pumps” are making one really similar to this one. I’m gonna send an email to see if they maybe made them for sears.

(Most common application.) It is so the pump doesn't lose prime. He never said he was going to use it to pump water out of a well. If he uses it on a tank, or feeds it overhead it will be fine. As long as you aren't trying to suck water up a 20' column, you don't need a foot valve. Ace pumps have been around for a long time. Don't know if they will help you or not... but they do make similar pumps. |
