John Blue L Series Piston Pump Rebuild And Assembly

Goes back together a lot easier than it comes apart.

Nice work getting that pump refurbished. Your willingness to maintain your machines is a huge part of your success keeping your beautiful vintage equipment running well.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Ethan, good job young man I very much enjoyed watching this video thank you for putting it together for us.🙂🙏🙂

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@martinwaddell]

My dad was a tool and di maker, and I watch a few Farming channels and you definitely build a lot of interesting stuff from scratch

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ethan, yes tearing things down and letting it sit for a while makes you have to think a little bit putting it all back together. Thanks Michael

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yep

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

You are good. I'm afraid I wouldn't remember how it goes back together, lol. Looks good and I presume you smoothed the shaft off camara. Looking forward to the next video. This was interesting. See you soon.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yea I polished it on the lathe.

[@MostlyInteresting]

Oh darn its bedtime.... got to save this for tomorrow.

[@rickhahn7583]

I am impressed with your Knowledge/Skill for your age. Not many could do what you do.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

There’s nothing hard about it.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Have you thought about doing a test between liquid and dry fertilizer this year to determine which method is best?

[@masongillespie4360]

Winterize that well with corrosion inhibitors and it will last you a very long time. I’m pretty confident ours has close to 100,000 gal through. Wore out one planter and swapped it to the new one and it’s still getting it done.

[@tca375]

Like how you rebuild and reporpose things.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@curtisowens4588]

This was an interesting video thanks for sharing. I hope this gives you a laugh like it did me but when your air pump kicked on it made me jump.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Lol

[@Plowboy4960]

Not sure which farm show you are talk about but the Ft Wayne Farm show was January 16 through January 18 I know Shoup has a sale going on just got a card from them nice job on getting your pump done up too

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Louisville.

[@MostlyInteresting]

gonna be a huge upgrade

[@jknelson82]

Metering tubes might be a better option instead of orifices.

[@RickySwain-pq1jr]

Where did you get the parts to rebuild the pump from?

[@williammatzek4660]

Is that a Bridgeport mill? When I was in my twenties and thirties I made a lot of air craft parts on a Bridgeport mill.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

It is. My Grandpa has one. I know that head badge shape anywhere.

[@Rumblestrip]

So the bolts to the intake and output gotta have a bit of a taper to them since theyre one way? Kinda makes sense in my brain.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

No. The holes are different sizes top and bottom.

[@Mad_Farmer912]

Did you decide not to smooth the shaft so it wont wear on the seals or just didn't record it?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s polished

[@scottharvold6286]

How does liquid fertilizer compare to dry for yields?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Fertilizer is fertilizer. It all does the same thing.
