Hi Dave,

Nice little collection you have there.

Do you know much about the Lee Howel pump that you have? Ive got one but cant find much about them.

What are you going to run your Argosy pump from?

Hi Paul

It's sort of grown over the past year. Started with the Lister and think you can pretty much say the bug has bitten. Been going to do it for

years now finally got round to it. And loving it !

The Lee Howell pump is green and it pumps lovely and that's about all I've found out about it. No-one seems to know much about them, I shall keep trawling when I have time but they seem to be a bit of an enigma when it comes to information.

The little Argosy pump I plan to remove the motor and drive it by belt off the Lister. Saving the Lee Howell for the Wolseley.

Nice collection and nothing to complicated to start with and a good choice of engines so they should give you years of pleasure with out taking a lot of looking after.

Hopefully I can post some pictures in the not too distant future with them looking much more respectable Stu,
although the Lee Howel pump has been restored already.
Top man, thanks for that Paul. Do seem to have problems now and again with my email for some unknown
reason so will keep an eye out.

I don't doubt you for a minute mike. I started with the Lister and and thought that would do and within three months I'd nipped off to Milton Keynes and picked up the Wolseley. I shall be taking my Lister A/B fund with me to Boston Vintage rally next week, just in case Very Happy
Always had a fascination for vintage stuff, it's an era when people took pride in what they built and looking after them. A trait sadly lacking these days I feel. I do plan on a shed rebuild probably next year so I may be able to swipe another four or five foot of the garden if the wife's not looking lol! lol!
cheers dave
