Hello I am leaving this comment because I saw you left a comment on a video of a guys C99 trencher running and your comment said you have a c9 and I just picked up a c7 and got it running and am trying to figure out why my chain only runs in reverse so I wanted to ask if your engine rotates clockwise when looking at it from the flywheel end and such just trying to bring mine back around and can't figure out what I got going. Thanks.

Great looking spray head. I just picked up a couple of those of the summer. Great spray pattern that doesn’t get to misty. And a big thank you for having these online…here is the winter and I have seen a sprinkler running except for your and in appreciate that. Thanks again!!

I really enjoy watching the stubby brass pop-up spray’s. The coverage they provide is fantastic.

What a great pair of sprinklers. I really believed that a rotating stream sprinkler was of a more modern invention. Where I live, it seems like we either had impact sprinklers for large areas like park of golf courses. Then at some point those were all gone and replaced with rotor sprinklers. Of course smallest areas always had spray type heads and still do today, although the rotators seem to be quickly replacing the old sprays. Thanks for posting these. It’s winter here now (December2024) and I haven’t seen a sprinkler running since October.

Curious if the Rain-O-Mat was the same as the Rain-O-Matic?

In India varieties available

this idea is great

I have not heard of the Morris Sprinkler Co. either. Nice half circle sprinkler, puts out a good spray and in decent shape after all these years.

Is there any marking on it to know it is half circle? Or do you just have to try it out and see?

Nice rare find! It still runs well even after years of abuse.

I can only marvel at the diversity of American irrigation companies. Whenever a manufacturer has made an effort to divert a vertical stream of water through channels into a horizontal circular movement, this will be conducive to even water distribution over the entire range.

Love these rare guys you come up with! This one goes on the long list of companies who had sprinklers private labeled for them. I’d guess some foundry in LA made them. I’ve met a couple people who worked for western brass, but so far no one has heard of a surviving list of companies they contracted to, the years of those contracts, or better yet, the products involved. How great would that be to have? Anyway, thanks for continuing to keep your eye out for these gems!

I didn't know they had flow control valves. I do know I've seen impacts and pivot sprinklers that use regulators to make sure that each sprinkler applies evenly. I guess you want to make sure your bubblers or etc aren't giving out too much water, so you dont kill your plants. On pivots, there are pressure regulators on each sprinkler also to compensate for elevation changes, that can also put a damper on the application of the water droplets. In irrigation you want to make sure every sprinkler is applying the same otherwise you get brown spots or kill whatever it is your watering. I've been learning little tidbits of info in every type of irrigation. Home/Commerical and Ag. It seems every time i go to the dealer i run across some kind of gun or impact or accessory that is used in ag irrigation, usually things i have never seen before. I like going there and just looking at all the impacts in the buckets and the gun trailer, Also i walk around the "junkyard" to look at all the broken/decomissioned equipment there. They have 2 hose reels with Komet 202 Ultra big guns on traveler carts. They even had a paddle wheel traveler t hat moved by a stream of water turning a wheel with cups. You could even set the speed of the cart, whether fast or slow. Definitley cool.

Very cool installation idea. You guys must have seen/repaired everything.

I wonder if you could do a ‘rubbing’ with pencil and paper to see what the lettering is?

The flow control valve looks like a dependable way to reduce the flow, and the simple elbow configuration would not attract tampering like a bubbler head might.

Very old Buckner sprinkler head. Those heads were made in southern California back in the 30's.

Cool old sprinkler, neat that it was found on the land your father bought. It still runs well, I've never seen anything like it.

I can’t place it, but I’ll keep my eye out. Great back story on how you came to have it. Thanks for sharing it!

I can't say much about the manufacturer of your heirloom. But I do know how this sprinkler model works. Please google the keyword Siedlerfreund. You will find my references to a sprinkler that was developed in Berlin around 1925. Whether the Berlin model was inspired by models from the USA or vice versa is uncertain. The only important thing is that the vertical water jet is diverted into a horizontal rotation by a nozzle disk. The amazing effect: the water distribution remains roughly constant over the entire range. Try it out for yourself. I want to show another Tuesday spray nozzle soon and explain this effect again.

Nice old full circle spray! You are right that is very old. I am not sure who made it. Have you tried cleaning the metal on it? You may be able to read the writing better if it was cleaned. It runs well off your water source. Maybe Bill might know some history on it or at least a model or brand!

Great comparison of the nozzles, Dave. Thanks for sharing these. I found the 176 grouped in with the same 175 in my kitchen and 1940 catalog. What’s interesting is they don’t show a #15 nozzle. Just 3,5,9,11,and 12.

Nice Thompson sprays. Good to see the comparison of the spray patterns between the different nozzle sizes.

You have a great Rain-O-Mat collection. When I was first in irrigation, I wondered where all these brands sold enough to stay in business. It’s becoming obvious the answer was Southern California. This style of bubbler is really beautiful, and you capture them in action really well. It’s great that you had four different patterns to show, too. There were obviously people to designed planter beds with these. Great to see.

Great demo on the various watering patterns. Ideal for small areas for sure.

Rain Jet is really my all time favorite. The spray pattern is flawless even coverage and wind hardly bothers them.

Nice find! I have not heard of this one, good even spray coverage.

Wow. I have never heard of this sprinkler. I recall an old brass spray having Adjustable in the name, but Herman’s is brand new to me. One more for the list! I love it when someone finds something knew like this. Thanks for sharing it!

Nice Rain-O-Mat shrub sprays. They have good even coverage.

Super quick return n this one! Thanks for sharing.

Those are fantastic sprinklers!! Great coverage, and pretty cool to watch in action. Thanks for sharing!!

These are great. Thanks for sharing a great video about them! Awesome that you had a catalog sheet for them, too. Keep digging in those buckets!

These are real finds! I got my hands on a sprinkler wrench from the same company and started doing research. I could find only a single ad from the early 1960’s that listed them for sale. No pictures in the ad. I’m so glad you found these! Someday we should catalog all the brands. Great video of a super rare brand of sprinklers!

Nice spray heads, I have not heard of an Alhambra branded sprinkler before. They have a good coverage with the cone spray.

Nice little Rain Jet sprays. Good feature to have the flow adjustment screw.

Nice Rain Jet sprinklers, the rotary pattern has a good coverage.

Looks great, Dave. I love seeing what you pull out of that collection of yours. I don’t know many people who could come up with that many FEBCO sprinklers.

Nice Febco full circle and half circle sprays! They have good coverage.

Nice Ross sprinklers and hose sprayer. I have not seen or heard of the Ross line of irrigation products before.

Awesome seeing the Toro golf head in action. This seems to be their bread and butter product. Would love to see an old Moist-o-Matic in action.

Yep. John D. Ross’ company. Same company for the Ross Crown, the Ross Star, and that hose nozzle. Luther Burbank said Ross’ star or square sprinkler, don’t remember which now, was the best sprinkler to use for roses. Pasadena was a hotbed for irrigation, especially before the war. Love that you showed the handheld waterer, too!

That's a great find after sitting on a shelf for so many years. Nice spray head that doesn't spray too far out, which is perfect for narrower shrub beds.

Very cool ! I just scored 3 of these with the electronic module. Golf course relics but they are in decent shape !

Good find ! That is in great shape for sitting on a shelf for so long. It runs well and has good coverage! Haven't seen much about FEBCO though. I only knew about them because the neighbors had them in popup rotors! Thank you for sharing!

What an amazing find! Incredible that was on the shelf of a plumbing supply house for over 50 years!
