Blake 3 cylinder pump info wanted.

ok then i have just got this Blake 3 cylinder pump out of a garden where it had been sat for about 23 years from what the previous owner said. it was siezed solid but after a bit of work now turns over. i cant seem to find any info on the net about the 3 piston ones so any info would be great.
cheers.

started the repaint

Try talking to these people Martin http://www.allspeeds.co.uk/ they used to have a lot of Blake information and even one or two spare parts for the later Blake pumps.

Pete.

thanks for that. i will drop them an e-mail and see what they have to say.

Mighty fine looking pump, please keep us up dated on anything you find out.

Nice pump!! what a find!

Look forward to seeing it restored.

Keep us updated.

(I think there was one similiar to that at the great doset this year?)

got it pumping today ....

Well done, great work and what a great looking pump.
What plans have you now with it?

Stu.

not sure really. got a few people interested in buying it so it may end up going and i get another to play with. but i have had the fun of freeing it up and getting it to pump again so its not all bad if it does end up going.

It would be a shame to sell such a nice pump but I understand where your coming from as I'd rather repair stuff as it's more satisfying to get something back up and working.

Stu.

looks like its going .. only reason is the chap who it looks like it will be going to has an engine the same as the one it was sold with originally so i thought that it would be nice to go to that one.

Like I've said a shame to go but on the other hand the buyer must be over the moon to get it and make the match.

Stu.

oh well its now gone to its new home got to look for another pump now!! lol.
