Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Engine Prelubricator Too cold and snowy, too little time. I've got a garage going up in a month or so, then at least I'll have a place to work. Of course, I also have a new major project to work on now...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Engine Prelubricator Ernie - Did you ever determine the actual thread type & size on the pump? I would think you can use a Deuce starter relay with no problem.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Engine Prelubricator The 600 PSI only applies to the system the pump was designed for or to a static pumping condition. The Deuce engine lube system should have a much lower back pressure than a hydraulic actuating system. Think of it as the pump pumping with the discharge port...

A nice package if you can afford it. I doubt a 1/5 hp pump will get you 45 psi though, even with warm oil. It should give you enough flow to fill the cannisters and give you 10 psi or so once the cannisters and oil galleries are filled which is certainly adequate for what is needed. The duece...

Re: RE: pre lube Correct. I was not referring to that plug, but the 1/2" or so plug at the bottom rear of the filter housing next to the oil cooler. That is the drain plug, it is an unfiltered port, so oil from the prelubricator will flow up into the filter cans, around and through the...

RE: pre lube Actually, I think the large drain plug on the bottom of the oil filter housing is pre filters, so the flow from the prelubricator would be filtered before it got to the engine.

RE: pre lube Email sent to McDonalds Trading Post for one pump unit. I will be the guinea pig for this project. I will order a pump with the adapters included but not installed so I can see if i can find a set of adapters with the correct thread to adapt the pump to standard fittings. My intent...

I'm willing to be the guinea pig for this project!

RE: Preluber pics Flatlander - Why not blow a bunch of stuff up this guys butt? Tell him a bunch of folks on this site are interested in his pumps and to give the $100 price to steel soldiers members. If that pump works, and I don't see why it wouldn't, he would get a lot of sales from us.

RE: Preluber pics Hydraulic pump fittings come in a variety of thread styles besides your standard JIC flare and NPT types. Those might be SAE treads. Surplus Center has quite a few adapters to convert to other thread types. Lets get 10 of us together to make a buy at the reduced price and give...

Re: RE: pump So flatlander, are you taking orders to get the 10 pumps for $100 each price?

RE: pump I'd be in for one for sure at the $100 discounted price.

RE: pump 3.5 gpm should be enough to get 10-20 psi easily, it should work quite well. Got a price on those hydraulic power units?

Dmetalmiki - Do you have any specifics on the pump/motor you are using? I've done a bit of searching nut still can't find the "right" unit!

Prelubricator Pump Info? I'm trying to come up with a hydraulic pump/motor combo to build a prelubricator system for my Deuce. Please check out my thread in the Deuce forum and weigh in there if you have any thoughts! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=122346

Ethan - care to name some commercially available pre lube systems? I've had a hard time finding anything out there. I agree the one on Ebay would be a poor choice. That brand IS available in 24V but they are pretty expensive and only have a 1/4 hp motor. It would eventually fill the system, but...

Devilman96 - That's looking better. Care to share some info on that pump? Who has them, how much do they cost, performance specs? Is it a gear pump? I've looked at 1000s of pumps on line and can't find the right one yet. There are plenty of diaphragm or eccentric pumps out there that will pump...

Jon - They are pricey, only 3 gpm, which I guess would work in a pinch, but they don't specify the output pressure. I'll keep them in mind, may try it if I can't find something more to my liking. The system in dmetalmiki's wrecker had a huge motor, I don't know if this pump would be up to the job.

I'm with you, I just haven't been able to find a suitable pump yet for a pre lube system. I figure 15-30 psi at 10-20 gpm would work. The pumps (actually power packs) Ryan found probably wouldn't work too well as there is no suction line (they are designed to pump oil from the attached...

Engine Prelubricator Following are some pics Dmetalmiki sent me of the engine prelubricator which came installed on his M62 wrecker. He has a problem posting pics so he sent them to me to post for him. It was first mentioned in the "Check Valve for Oil Filters?" thread in the mods/hot rodding...
