Title: Re: 2" gun cart
Post by FredC on Mar 20th, 2020 at 2:23pm
Did some mods to the cart, axle spacers drilled and tapped the axles for grease zerks. I got the pipe fittings the other day and assembled them, built specialized adapters. Mounted the P85 guns, then disassembled them and made new spacers when both the spacers came unglued. Reassembled everything and watered 2 hours last evening. It rained .8 inches last night and is still raining. I need to hire myself out as a rain maker, every time I commit to one of these projects it starts raining when I finish. I will take a picture when it stops raining.

Gotta give a shout out to the guys at Nelson Sprinklers. Gave them a call yesterday at 5:50PM and got a fellow in Washington still at work. The threads on the "shaft" were very tight, not sure if they were not left hand.  Don Zimmerman assured me they were right hand, so I put some more torque on them and got them to let go. While I was on the line he made calls to other employees to try and identify what material I could use to make the spacers. I had some 1-5/8 Delrin plastic on hand and used it to make the spacers. Don also gave me the phone number where I can get parts when it is not an emergency and emailed me a assembly drawing with part numbers. Way better than the service I expected on 20 year old sprinklers.
