Hi
It'' a while ago. My friends company got the call to empty a shed. The company where only interested in the cement mixed and stuff.
So my friend says can I store some stuff on your garage . It was there ages. Told him to get it moved.
His reply just take this for the storage. Need a wee bit of work. Oh it'''s dad'
Junk in front of it.
Regards

One of those "Ill put cheeky bid in" moments and darned if I didn't win it for not a lot 
Research so far seems to indicate it's a Villiers Simplte Mk4 sludge pump and not very common at the shows so worth doing up
It's missing the cover over the chain/pump crankshaft so I'll just have to keep my fingers out

It certainly looks like it's shifted its share of sh... sludge.
Of course, when you do it up and show it off, you'll have to show it shifting stuff...

I suppose I could demonstrate it by emptying the tanks of the portable toilets they have at the shows?
not sure if the show organisers would be impressed though.

The guy I collected the pump from had a shed and 2 garages full of engines, his main problem he said was deciding which ones to take to each show

My dad sold one of them in the same state he bought it in, with a massive hole in the bottom of the casing where someone had tried to pump stones.One of those "Ill put cheeky bid in" moments and darned if I didn't win it for not a lot

I believe he kept the engine though and presumably someone had the pump for spares

I'm the same sometimes, this came as part of a joblot, took me while to identify it as a Suffolk Iron Foundry engine

If you make a guard, make it out of mesh so the sprockets can be seen, it will look great!
The only time I've seen those plastic ones used they broke, I've always managed to get them on and off with just my thumbs. The trick is to get the opposite side of the tyre as deep into the rim as possible so you have as much slack where you are working. If you're really struggling then a bit of washing up liquid on the rim edge does help BUT make sure you wash off before you go riding, disc brakes aren't affected but rim brakes can be.BUT ...I can't fit them until I get some tire levers ...I have been to 5 bike shops in two local towns looking for tire levers ....one shop had two of the metal one's only two ....and no one had the wide plastic levers that don't mess up the light black alli rims...so I ordered some on line ...waiting ...

You've clearly not tried getting Kevlar bead tyres on and off Araya RM17 rims...
The metal levers are a lot kinder to rims if you put heatshrink sleeving over them, the BT-issue adhesive-lined is perfect for the job...

The pages should stay available for a while on the US site, but the chap who put it all together unexpectedly passed away in early March
