A whatzit test on auction purchase

Bought this for the motor to put on a hay conveyor but curious about the pump thing:

I should add the pump says max 600 psi and the wood base has castors on it. I had assumed it was a vacuum pump before looking at it closer.

Sprayer pump?

Looks like a reservoir for hyd. fluid on top,could be a aux. pump for hyd. pressure?

Ken Macfarlane · Mar 26, 2016

It looks a bit like a hydraulic accumulator like the hardi pulse type sprayers have. There is good layer of oil on everything so I assume it was pumping oil. The lever is labelled increase and decrease pressure.

It most definitely was pumping water, rust deposits in that chrome accumulator thing.

The oil port on the pump body lubed the crank on the pump.

Maybe an old school pressure washer someone built in a shop?

its just a bunch of junk no good garbage... lol. no!, its a pressure washer , if you dont want it i'll take it.

the knob on top lever is for adjusting your water pressure, screw in for more pressure. the accumulator is for smooth operation. im very familiar with those pumps.
