De Laval

[Mike'smeatshop]

I found a few old wrenches the other day and found an old De Laval Cream Seperator wrench and that reminded me I still have that old De Laval milking Pulso Pump that I thought would be great for tapping Black Walnut trees here in Ky. I have read were Walnut syrup is really good. It just takes a lot more water to get syrup. I had worked gathering and cooking maple syrup in Pa for quit a few years at a camp. Here in Ky people have the same pans for cooking Sorghum to make molasses, and there are few near me not being used.

But back to the Pulso Pump. Mine is a model 25. Would anyone have any information pertaining to these? Mercury bulb switch is what has me thinking.

Try here, seems like an intelligent conversation, but I know nothing of your pump

Alpha De Laval Engine and Pulso Pump

I have the Alpha De Laval engine starting easy and running good so I started working on the Pulso Pump. I pulled the end off the pump and there appears to be a mercury switch in the end and an electrode on the outside. What am I dealing with? I didn't expect a mercury type switch. Jeff...

Thanks. I have been all over that but there is more about the old engines than about the pumps.

I managed to find a cream separator wrench as well. It’s a Delaval #4126. The number is very faint. It looks to be 3/4”.
