I found this on CL, it came from a shop that closed. two 5 hp three phase motors. Disassembled for storage, it's up to me to reassemble. I offered $450 and we sealed the deal.

Good Grief! What is the size of that tank? And is this going into a home shop or a business?

You've got it looking good though. :thumbzup:
 
I've seen that type with dual pumps. Did you get both with it?
 
Yes I did. This just after loading it from the seller storage unit.

Good one, chips. Makes me want to tackle a job I've been dreading. I have an ancient Sears commercial two stage that needs rebuilding. Has a 5hp on it now, but may change to a 10 I have spare at the moment. It's rusty and neglected. Maybe it will be a project I can document, since most of my commercial work I can't go around showing off.
 
Good score
Is it a 3-5-7.5 HP unit

Did you get the mag starters.

If you need any help with it just PM

Looking good. I bet you're anxious to test run it. I know I would be.



Hey Andrew, you have any resources that can help me identify an old Sears Commercial pump? The online sources don't show the correct manufacturer for the prefix number, I suppose because of the age. Or perhaps if I put up some pics?

5hp motors, I'm missing the one way valve off the left/right pump? I have (2)the tubing off the head outlets but not sure what's missing. Mag starters how many (2)? A few open holes in the tank I'm not sure about also.
