I've been collecting parts to build a wood processor for a long time. I've come across several motors and pumps that I figured I could use for one part of the build or another. I was at an auction last week and they put up a junk with all sorts of stuff packed in it and at the bottom of the box I saw what looked like a big ol hyd pump or motor and what looked like a great big saw bar. They wouldn't let you dig into the box to see what was inside but I figured what the heck. They started out at $150.00 and no one took the bait so after a bunch of pleading from the fast talking auctioneer they started to close out the box and move on but I yelled out 50 bucks!!! The guys on the stage looked at each other and as one of them scratched his butt with a puzzled look on his face the other guy yelled out SOLD!! to the guy in the second row with the camo hat on.
I turned in my tickets for the stuff I had bought and as I backed up to the door the guy that was loading the stuff told me, MAN you got a deal with that box of stuff there. He said that he had planned on bidding on it but they had called that box while he was in the out house. Anyway he offered me $100 bucks for the box and I may have taken it if he had not already told me how good of a deal I had gotten so I said nawh I'll just take it home with me.
I pulled away but I just had to look inside to see what was in the box so I pulled over to the side and started digging. That same guy came over and said how's about $150 before you go digging? But by then I had already grabbed a hold of that big old 404 bar and under it was the chain to go with it along with the sprocket and a bunch of other related parts. I said sorry but the cat's out of the bag and that I had been looking for this kind of stuff for a long time. He then told me that the parts had come off an old delimber cut off saw that had come loose from the tractor and had gone off the side of the road and down an embankment. He said the insurance company had bought it but never came to pick it up and after several months the storage was more that they wanted to pay so they gave it to the shop owner as scrap.
Anyway long story short they stripped it out and scrapped what was no good and had had the parts on the shelf for several years and finally the old guy died and they were auctioning off what was left. When I got home I found this big saw motor. It's a Parker and there was a tag on it that I could make out PT# 400391. There was some other numbers on the tag but I couldn't make out everything. Also there was a number stamped in the case of the motor that was 3035020002 and another number on the tag that I believe was 303 9310343 There was also 045 stamped in the face of the flange where it bolted up. It is round in shape and has a 2 bolt flange. It's pretty big probably 12" long and about 8" round in size and I can measure it closer if that would do any good.
I have searched all over and none of these numbers comes up anywhere and when I searched the parker site I still didn't see anything that I could say was a match. I think it's a gear pump but I'm not sure.
The saw blade and chain looks like it was just changed out and had very little use on it. The sprocket had some wear but still usable and I believe I could weld up the drive marks and make it like new without much time involved. Looking at it though it would probably last me a lifetime doing the little work it will have to do while I have it.
I'm trying to figure out what kind of motor I would need to drive such a thing as this. That will be the next item I will be trying to run down.
