Prime Ok we figured it out. One of the discharge valves has a small leak and lets just enough air in to loose prime. If you screw the cap on one turn she will take off and pump like there is no tommorrow. I am going to take the valve apart today and see if I can fix it. Thanks for all the Ideas...

Pump Ok I found someone I work with who used to do sales and service on pumps over here in the oil fields. He is going to be here either Thursday or Friday. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the help.

pump I plan on a complete restore of the yellow one if I can get it going. The red one is going down to the local water fowl area once we get it going.

Pump I think this is an Exhaust primer. Here are some more Pictures.

pump If you look at the top of the pump you can see two outlets. They have the caps on in the pictures. They are the two round things above the inlet. You can see the black control knob for the valves sticking out to the left in the second picture and to the right in the last picture. Just to...

Here we go. I am at a loss. I can't figure out why it won't hold prime. It sucks alot of water up to the pump within seconds. It builds the 50lbs. of prime like the directions say, you open the discharge valve about 1/4 the way and you can feel and hear the pump take hold, the back of the...

prime I can not get it primed, so I rolled the whole thing off into the lake. Not really, I worked on it for a while when I got home, could not get it to fully open up. You don't have much time to play with it either. Since the cooling requires it to be primed it don't take long for it to heat...

prime I didn't get a chance to try the pump this morning. My son got sick so I have to take him to the doctor. I hope to get back in time to try this evening before it gets dark. Thanks for the help.

prime It says to pull the throttle out until the engine fluctuates which it only does with the exhaust valve open. I have twenty feet of intake line and I may be about 5 feet above the water. You can watch the hose drop under the weight of the water as it is filling which it does rather...

prime The antifreeze is in a sealed tank above the fuel tank in the front of the motor. It is for the motor only. It does have lines frome the tank to the pump but that is for the cooling coils in the tank. THe antifreeze never touches outside water. When you pull one of the priming levers it...

Prime Ok my intake seals are ok as well as the line. Please explain the antifreeze thing more. I don't understand what the antifreeze has to do with the prime. When I go through the steps on the tag on how to prime it, it all goes well until I open the discharge valve, I can open it a little...

Hose Ok I got the pump to run, now I am having problems keeping it primed. I think it is because I need discharge hoses to achieve the proper back pressure. Anybody know of that is true? Anybody got 2-1/2" fire hose they want to sell?

pump I don't think the tounge has been changed, seems like I have seen these before. But it could have been. It does have the brass tag on it and it says Army Corp. and the rest of the info is the same. It doesn't say NSN number but it does say stock list number which is 58-9050-700-910 which...

pumps Run a garden hose in there, ok got it. I assumed that since the bearings had grease jerks that it would be OK. Anybody know where I can get manuals on this? I can't find anything anywhere. Anybody know the M number? Anything?

Well I saved them from the crusher and now I am in the learning process on how to make them work. I had the yellow one running until it lost the fuel pump. Trip to Napa in the morning. They both have Chrysler flat head 6 's in them. It says model IND-8A, type 524 on the tag on the side of the...
