WILL IT RUN? 83 Year old Antique Marine Pump.

l picked up this old engine powered marine/fire pump from an estate sale a while ago and its been sitting on a shelf until now, lets see if it has any life left in it.

[@beaverbushcraft2962]

When I was a kid I would get exited to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Now I get excited to watch Sunday morning Mustie1.

Yup... definitely a hit-the like-first-then-watch-the-video channel. :-) Back about 50 years ago one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoon shows was the "The Banana Splits Show"... it was so funny... lol :-D

Mustie, this is a Forestry Service pump. Used for brush and forest fires. Type Y-200. Popular pump in the 1950'.

[@Eremon1]

You nailed it.

[@kensakamoto258]

My brother used to use those as a firefighter for the US Forest Service back in 1970. I think they were in service until about 2000. Yes they were always that finicky.

[@ty2010]

You not only have a water pump, you have a high pressure water pump for fire fighting. You're going to be amazed at how much water that thing will move.

[@ty2010]

they drained our basement with one in about an hour, was a single room sized basement

[@byrn]

I was thinking the same thing, this pump is very solidly built. Given it was found with a marine engine - fireboat maybe?

[@tchads_57]

[@paddrivers]

[@ianlevine273]

Based on larger versions of the pump I’ve used, the brass tubing is a vacuum line to prime the pump. The lever on the exhaust blocks the free flow exhaust to force it through a Venturi that blows out the bottom. Once you see water in the exhaust you open the window on the muffler to allow free flow of the exhaust.

[@cheeto4493]

Sounds reasonable. I think the brass thing on the side is for pull rope storage

[@craigratajczak6721]

My guess is that brass plate you cleaned off early in the video probably said " Lovingly restored for Maritime Museum " at one time long ago. lmao

[@Ragnar8504]

Or the tag hanging from the wire more likely. You do have to admit that this one was a whole lot less buggered up than the other engine! I didn't have a whole lot of hope for it when Mustie mentioned where it had come from though!

[@Techman4567]

Always a pleasure watching you mess around with the old stuff that used to be made in the USA, and to see how it comes back to life with little or no effort. Try doing that with the junk made now a days 80 years from now.

[@mastertech7104]

Happy Easter Mustie1 , The exhaust primer uses the muffler to create a venturie for drafting water into the pump to help prime it.

[@roybm3124]

Thanks for the explanation i thought it was a water connection to silence/cool the exhaust. But that is connected to the manifold. Engine is also cooled by the pump. It could also be a decompression vent to start the engine easier when there is much water in the exhaust.

[@Maximus43968]

You beat me to it lol. We have some pumps on brush fire trucks at the firr dept that work with exhaust primer.

[@stevelangston2359]

Water cooling

[@cjm6271]

This is the comment I came to make myself. Beat me to it! I just retired from 30 years of fire fighting. We had an old(not as old as Mustie's) brush fire pump with an exhaust primer.

[@michaelecullimore9677]

Its a Handy Billy used by the USCG and USN in 40s-60s 1-1/2 fire hose, and dewatering pump. The gas can was above the pump and motor inside a tubular frame. With the frame two sailors could carry the unit quickly. The hinged side cover is where the starter cord was stored. The motor is a OMC Johnson. Bearings are roller pins. We had one surplus unit FROM USN BASE Mare Island CA. I've had the engine downtown parade rest and back together made all my own gaskets and it ran well just mixed a little extra oil in the gas.

[@jiveturkey9993]

You got that one right. I just Google image Handy Billy and it popped up.

[@kensherwood4866]

Thanks Mustie1 for keeping us all going through the lock down. Great viewing another video featuring something different and captivating to watch. We are all indebted to you for keeping us going through Covid, Thanks

[@haneyoakie14]

Watching you dance when the flywheel unscrewed itself was worth the price of admission. That slow mo at the end was super cool too. Nice work!!

[@dannyvanalstine5748]

love your vedios. i also enjoy getting old engines running. small engines and vehicles, tractors.

[@chriscampbell2327]

The page you were looking at with the truck is the US forest service so they probably used the pump for fighting wild fires. So the water jacket on the exhaust may be a way to cool it to prevent the surrounding material from catching fire.

[@j.w.3345]

That made my day! I have an old, complete 66 Sears Suburban 12 barn find, sitting on my lift table I'm dying to get at. But I just had spinal fusion surgery three weeks ago. Mustie1 is the next best thing to turning wrenches myself. OK....I admit it, Mustie1 videos are better. Thanks!

[@justingoodman2401]

I love how tickled you get. The sign on the door of the truck kind of reminds me of the old forest service sign. Maybe used for small brush fires?

[@chesterlauck734]

Mustie, the truck picture you found had a Forest Service insignia on the door and was probably fitted with the pump as surpluses by the Navy. The forest service was great for that and still purchases from GSA. There are some forums on line about the pump. Cool find! I found it uses a 12:1 mix

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That was cool. The flywheel flying off was priceless. I think the reason the exhaust goes through the plate at the bottom of the pump is to keep it from freezing in cold weather. The tab at the top was probably for ease of starting and then you close it off.

[@bostonbrown2006]

The tube sticking out of the carburetor bowl is used to prime the intake by flooding over the bowl by overriding the float valve. I have a 1953 Sea Bee outboard engine and it is designed like that.

We had these in the USCG back in the day. It is a P-60 portable fire pump. They were very reliable and could deliver 60 GPM at fire hose pressure. Self priming even with 10 or more feet of suction lift.

[@turnbullfl4114]

[@danshadoin7661]

MUstie, you need an old school go-kart starter. 12 volt motor, small pulley, t-handle, fan belt, go switch. Connect the fan belt to the starter pulley, give it a little tension, hit the go-switch and when the motor cranks let off on the pressure and the belt spin off. No more escaping flywheels. Now that I've described it to you, I am sure you remembered you've got a couple of those stashed someplace.

The lever on the top of exhaust when you close it off primes the pump, creates suction

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

Austin 7 engined portable fire pumps in New Zealand had the same arrangement. The engine was cooled by the pumped water, but when the engine was started a valve was opened that pumped exhaust through a venturi at the pump which created a vacuum. This sucked the water up into the pump...you had to time it just right, close the handle and start pumping water to cool the engine... The whole arrangement was usually carried by 4 men to the edge of the water supply.... Start was by crank handle..... I've helped carry one and used it to empty a whole swimming pool.....great fun.

[@flyjarrett]

Lovingly restored!

[@StonyMahony825]

I wish you a happy easter. This is a really great pump, I would be happy to see the pump again as it does its job again. Nice greetings from Germany

[@hoss1947]

The lever on the exhaust housing could be an exhaust primer which was needed to prime a centrifugal pump. It creates a vacuum in the pump housing which allows water to enter the pump for priming. Used them for 35 years in the fire service. If it is a positive displacement pump, it primes much easier because it will pull water into itself by creating it's own vacuum. The pumps we used flowed between 200-300 GPM.

[@gdmclnh]

That is what was used for. I have used one. It helps prime the pump.
