Hardie pump

clydeo · Jun 23, 2018

I have found 2 Hardie orchard pumps. One is the smaller 3 piston open frame pump. The other is larger 3 piston open frame. The smaller is about 350 lbs the bigger is about 500 lbs. I will be restoring the smaller one. I would like to find someone in Seattle area that would like to use it in shows behind a hit and miss or steam engine. The larger one will be available to anyone that may need parts. Just did not want them to be scraped. Factory information and repair manuals would be nice if anyone knows where to find some.

I have a small and large Hardee pump also. We used them in the orange groves before they froze.

I think these pumps have real style and where built to last 2 lifetimes. I will invest a little money and a lot of time but it should look good when it is done. Any Idea what years these might be? Where are you located?

I'm in central Florida. Im 67 now and these sprayers were used in the orange groves before those big fan type sprayers came out. Founded in 1956 for tobacco growers. I know they are built tough and can pump some high pressure. Is it spelled Hardee or Hardie? Ours were always orange paint.
