Looks like you got the pump just in time; before the water did any real damage to the cylinder walls or the rest of it! Another few months out in the weather could have been a different story! Thanks! Jeff
Nice project John, I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I've quite a collection of old "Whitworth" spanner I've acquired mainly from carboots. Thier often ignored by most due to them being as rusty as hell. I use them for adjusting my "Coronet Major" woodworking machine that I've fully restored.
9:14 I think that ring in the bottom is part of the lube system. The ring freewheels in the oil and brings it up on the shaft.

Oil ring, very common and very reliable. Just clean it, put it back in and it will run until the ring wears out. They often are located by having an extended bearing with a v cut in it on the top where the ring runs, so that the film it picks up is dropped into the bearing directly. Big end and little end is splash lubricated. These always will weep a little oil out of the drive end in operation, just enough to keep the felt seal there damp and waterproof.
John, That's a really nifty vacuum pump you have there! I assume those pipes on the side are breathers for the crankcase. With one cylinder, it would seen it would take forever to "pump down" much of a vacuum. The only cylinder vacuum pump I've seen is the one they used in my high school science class. I have repaired a ton of vacuum pumps and compressors with fiber (oil type) and carbon (oil-less) rotary vanes. Thanks for the interesting video! Have a good one! Dave
Hi mate. Thanks for that, I thought the idea with the ball bearings was a great idea. I have made some gaskets some time ago and had no end of troubles. I wish I knew then.
Great work, your a fast wrencher! Can't wait to see how it will pump down. What was the vacuum pump used for originally? Thank you for your videos ! Harvey from Nebraska
To see one of these working in a display driven by a Lister D see TH-cam: Shaggysmotors - Lister D and Manus Vacuum pump milking display. It looks really good.
Lookin good John. Can't wait for the next installment... Thanks for let us look over your shoulder... Fred

The pump looks to be in pretty good shape. Will make a great air compressor. Thanks for sharing.

Neat old piece. The guys at the shop will get a kick when you pull vacuum on an AC system with that pump and the Lister! lol

looks ok john you will find a use for it somewhere will look good painter lister green great video john
Nice 'Olde Worlde'technology that ring oiler, nothing to go wrong!

Thank you for your videos ! Harvey from Nebraska
would make a great project!
Nice work of the vacuum pump. What do you plan for it?
Thanks again, Randy
It would be good running of the Lister "sucking" tin cans flat
Noo john i think i bought some whitworth sockets they are in me shed if you want them
Hi
Stan
I gave all my Whitworth stuff away years ago
