Wes I rebuilt our 361 pump in our Hardi sprayer 4 yrs ago and its been fine. We spray 1500 acres per year. Hardi makes a great sprayer but parts are expensive. I switched all the nozzles to Tee Jet, tj has a special cap that attaches to the hardi nozzle. If my pump were to wear out again i would switch to centrifigual hydraulic driven. Good luck in 2017.
I agree with Kevin a parts washer is a must, buy or build one even a tank where you can put a burner under it and air agitate and use just plain old laundry soap will save you a lot of headaches.
Wes I have a Hardi sprayer as well, don't do fertilizer in it so the pump lasts longer. A tip for you, Hardi has a cap you can buy L think it was $5 and you can put ordinary tee jet style nozzles in it. Did my pump last year for $1200 Canadian. I enjoy your videos keep them coming
Take a good look at the connecting rods where they contact the bearings and the cups that keep the rods with the bearings. The rods and cups often wear so that the rods don't stay tight to the bearings thus reducing the stroke. Yours may be fine as I can see you keep it well greased. Often if you can't produce good flow it is due to this easily overlooked wear point. Best of luck to you this season.
We had a mega 350 with the same pump ran it over 2500 acres 3-4 times a year for 17 years, great sprayers but we got tired of rebuilding the pump and finally put a new one on and it lasted longer up until we upgraded to a new sprayer.
Hi Wes. You are probably aware of this already, but standard flat fan nozzles can be very poor at putting down fertilizer as they aerate the mixture and cause a great deal of volitization. They can also cause allot of leaf scorch. To minimise this affect, make sure you have a big enough nozzle so that you get a coarse spray pattern. Good luck.
Switch it to a Hypro pump can rebuild them including the hydraulic motor for around $400 and a new pump is under $1000. We have had hypro pumps on our last 2 sprayers a PT and now a Rogator. Also if you go away from streamer nozzles and use herbicide nozzles you may have issues with the nozzles plugging. We use Teejet SJ3 streamers they work well then for herbicide we use 8002 AI nozzles and 8004 s for fungicide.
hey man if you ever decide to get a new sprayer yatta look into Wiley three-point Wylie sprayer with a 60-foot boom and now they're making a model with a 3 point sprayer that is down with a 500 gallon tank which is pretty nice
The rebuild kit is $1500? For 363 pump? I got a price from Brinkley and Hurst for $673 for mine. Hardi 550 navi. But I got the rebuild kit same number from UK for $450 shipped.
Wes, you really need a good parts washer. It would make life much better for working on your equipment as well as less messing around with brake cleaner all the time. Probably cheaper in the long run.
FYI next time you do something like that oven cleaner and a pressure washer it'll take most of the crap out so you don't have to use so much parts cleaner
i cant believe how you can survive without a proper workbench with vise and a tub for cleaning parts... are those spray thingies really that cheap over there ? I use kerosene, an old brush and compressed air. not saying that you can't do it, i've done it before in the field but it sucks. why do you have a shop ? You just need half a 55 gallon drum and a little expanded metal
How many load of grass hay do you have for the mushroom barn - do you take 1 a week or 1 a month - spending lot of money on parts and labor - but that's the way it goes -
No he pays Tim and his nephew I believe and the truck driver - no it's not me - how am I suppose to know - just didn't realize he was shipping that much grass hay out
Why don't you have a solvent tray and use gasoline or solvent to clean up parts, I'm not telling you what to do just intresting you don't use one. Good luck, I have 2 of these pumps also, but have not rebuildt any of them yet.
Tim sits right in front of the bearing being removed I've seen a few bearings blow up just be careful Tim if you are not around Wes will get in trouble. stay safe boys.
It's agood work sir .you had been disassemble all parts of the pump .that clear you are experience in your working

For being right, Tim deserves a raise in pay.

good work
I hate part twos, Wes you're a pretty fair mechanic, fix lots of stuff!!
You are a better man than I am. If I had smashed my fingers like that, I would have to stop work for at least a minute so I could CUSS!!!!!
I have watched ALOT of your videos, and you sir need a Varsol tank!
👉🌈
That pump has done well then.
Just curious Wes but why not have a Safety-Kleen parts washer? They don't take up much room and they keep the extra mess in one area.

Have considered the benefit of an abrasive cabinet for cleaning parts like the housing in this video?

You need a flexi-coil sprayer. All hydraulic, I love mine. Pretty sure have close to a hundred thousand acres. Only one seal kit on the pump.
Did I see a Bolens lawn tractor lol had a Bolens G9 as a kid! Give us a story and vid about the Bolens those things were built like tanks!!!!
epa going to come get because of all the solvents on the ground. lol
Paint the pump housing?
Put a new Ace pump on it for $800 next time, works great for me!
Hey wes i need some help with one of my tractors. How is your hand. Hope you have a good hay year
When are you gonna have time to work on the 4010 once you start making hay
its a diaphragm pump working off a cam follower :-) took one apt 6 years ago i agree so many parts in such a small area :-) time consuming !!
I am from Illinois farmer win you bought those john Deere tractor over seas was the shipping high too bring back .
a parts washer would come in handy for jobs like that.. just saying wes.....
A parts washer would probably pay for itself, given as much mechanical repair work you do.
Can you show us the new nozzles for your sprayer
The rebuild kit is $1500? For 363 pump? I got a price from Brinkley and Hurst for $673 for mine. Hardi 550 navi. But I got the rebuild kit same number from UK for $450 shipped.

Should fix that pto shield on the sprayer just a thought
Nothing like a pat on the back from someone wearing greasy gloves. :-)

The cylinder and crank arrangement looks to be similar to a radial aircraft engine..
Wes I have been wondering who owns the Chevy truck
tim get your safety glasses on
hi all. i have two pumps from hardy soon i will put up for sale via ebay they are new. i will let you know here when i put it up
interesting
That would be $ 266.67 per year to run that pump. Not bad for the amount it does.
maybe buy new and sell the old as rebuildable, more cost but less headache
How many load of grass hay do you have for the mushroom barn - do you take 1 a week or 1 a month - spending lot of money on parts and labor - but that's the way it goes -
Donald Ellett 8 loads a week
Are you kidding me - how many big bales do you have left or truck loads - there accepting 8 loads a week from different hay suppliers
Donald Ellett no I am hauling 8 loads of hay a week of my own hay I will not be done till mid July with old hay
No he pays Tim and his nephew I believe and the truck driver - no it's not me - how am I suppose to know - just didn't realize he was shipping that much grass hay out
Why don't you have a solvent tray and use gasoline or solvent to clean up parts, I'm not telling you what to do just intresting you don't use one. Good luck, I have 2 of these pumps also, but have not rebuildt any of them yet.
Does anyone know where I can find a case for my iPhone like what Wes has in this video that would allow me to clip my phone to my pants?
Cameron Grayson yes, it's an otter box survivor case which you can find off amazon just type in "otter box survivor case iPhone (whatever you have)"
Thanks for your help! Found it straight away
Cameron Grayson ,pretty well any store that sell iphones sell all kinds of cases a good one like Wes uses is around 10 bucks
hope you remember how it goes back together 😂😂lol
Tim sits right in front of the bearing being removed I've seen a few bearings blow up just be careful Tim if you are not around Wes will get in trouble. stay safe boys.
Just banging the hell out of where the heads bolt to the block hope there's some thick ass gaskets to seal that thing up with LOL J/K
How about building a soaker tank for these degreasing jobs?
I call bs on the broadcast sprayers being more efficient than streamers. there is no way
i thought i was wrong once but i was mistaken
good evening old how's your day been
