Where is this "graveyard" you speak of? That 8900 looks to be in better shape than ours. Why would that be thrown away? Send it to our guy and he will have it running for about $400. We bring all of our machines to him at least once a year to look em over. Never really a big problem...just minor. Send me some.

Its at a shop I work out of in Indio Ca about 60 miles east of me. It not my shop but I work out of it.

I'm not sure how it ended up in the grave yard but I'm sure when I get into it it will come back to me.

I am doing this more for a hobby, budget and more than anything to learn.
I have always want to take my wrench and break open one of these guys.
I already opened the fluid section and found it needs a lower packing kit and a new sleeve. I will be posting a pic of the sleeve later.

 

my pumps are electric.. how long does that tank of gas run for/last?

 

All SpeeFlo's are convertible. Lift the elect. up, remove the belt and flip in your gas. Gas will run for about half day on the 8900. Tank is about 1.5 gallons~ I think. Last a long time. For exteriors, you can't beat it.

 

You also get more pressure with a gas rig than you would get with a elct. Check the specs through the link I put up here.
I prefer the gas rigs so you don't have to depend on the ho or gc to supply power.

 

do a step by step or progression post on it. I have been doing those on my house and other little projects. I love pics, so post alot of em

I agree. I would like to see it as well

 

Here is the graveyard

Here is the graveyard of pumps

 

Changing the fluid packing

Here is a pic of the lower packing. The rod was saved but the sleeve couldn't be saved. for those that don't have a clue. when your packing's are blown it will wear on the sleeve ($300.00) and/or it will start wearing on the rod ($300.00). That just for parts if you have someone do it you would be looking at about 900 to 1200 bucks. Just because you or your employee kept pumping with worn packing. Thanks to the graveyard I was able to pull off a sleeve.
$100.00 packing, $20.00 rock catcher, $20.00 manifold filter with ball
So far total cost $140.00

 

Good deal, looks like a damn fine part grave yard.
Nice gun btw.

 

Here is my 4900 I just got back from being rehabed. I paid a hundred for the pump on craigslist, then a repack, new siphon tubes and a new motor. Plus two easy reels w/ 100ft hose each.

My truck is a mess so keep the comments low....................

 

Nice, I am a big fan of the hose reels.

 

Rehabs? ....Ill take them all. We beat them up pretty good. Just look at the Graco behind it.
