vacuum pump oil are they universal?? or is there a subsitute?

[PARKER MAPLE]

Hey guys, I picked a couple of old pump these week so Im kinda playing around with them. One has what appears to be like an oil bottle on the top of the motor. It has a screw on the side of it for what appears to be where you fill it. I no nothing about this pump other then it was free. Any help would be appreaciated? I might be able to post some pictures if I can figured it out.

Are there any marking on the pump?

[PARKER MAPLE]

No None at all, Im going to take it off base tomorrow and see what on the bottomside. I havnt a clue what it is.

The pump looks like a Conde'. They are used for small animal milking. The one that I have is a Conde' model 2, it pulls about 20" of vacuum with no problem. I don't have it setup on my lines yet, as I just picked it up earlier this season.

Here are a few pictures of the pump I have. It is an older model than the one you have, notice that the oiler is on the side of the intake port.

That looks very close, If its is a conde do they still make rebuild kits for it. I noticed as I spun it over with a dril that oil was pouring out around the crank seal. I believe it needs a total over haul. Stuck a vac gauge on as well and didnt even move it. I only took it because I tought it might work well in a small piece of woods we have. like 250-60 taps and there all with in apprx 300 ft.
Thanks Alot for all of your guys input.

6 vanes apprx 3 1/2in long. what can I use for a seal on the crank saft that my biggest objective

[PARKER MAPLE]

OK I email westmoorltd today they were a great help. I found out its a conde model 3, apprx 50yrs old. The bad side of this is they dont carry/ or make replacement parts for it. Im wondering if there is a seal for the crankshaft that I can get thats aftermarket or make?? anybody try this before or have any I deas?

Here's another source http://hambydairysupply.com/xcart/home.php?cat=81
I'll try to find another I have somewhere too, I bought Surge Alamo vanes from them at a far better price that from a Surge dealer. For Conde they may also have parts. (Conde is made about 3 miles from my house.) If I find it I'll add a link in this post.
Sorry, I looked thru all my bookmarks and did not find another link.

I beleive that you can get that seal from just about any parts store with a micrometer. Take in the housing that the bearing rides in, along with the shaft. Have them mic the parts and bingo you have seals. Even better now that you have it apart install new bearings with built in seals. This pump could last another 50 years. Back in the old days a manurfacture did not create a new bearing for different designs. All bearings were standard sizes. Well I haven't found one that wasn't yet.
