• This is a bronze cylinder Stuart No7 driving an early Stuart centrifugal water pump.

• Great to see it working hard, such a shame Stuart no longer offer these centrifugal pumps in their range.
  
  I'd love MSM to offer a water pump accessory for their Mildura engine.

• I've read the specs on these pumps and they will certainly move some water. I love your setup to circulate the water, it falls along the same lines I was thinking. Very cool.

• Thanks guys, they can pump some water.
  With the direct drive the pump is only ticking over, it would really fly on a pulley setup.

• Nice setup Dave and even better to see the Stuart running on steam. That pump really does move the water

• Bonjour Dave,
  You are lucky with your pump, mine does not work well because a leak at the lower bawl level. The D10 is steam consumer and needs a pump:

  I have to go to a friend workshop to try to solve the problem.
  Besides this, I am not sure it is a Stuart pump, a friend installed one from Stuart castings on one of my other D10:

• Bonjour Doug,
  If you refer to my D10, replacing the initial on too toght, the coupling system is now what we call "TOC" in France, acronym I do not know furthermore.
  One part is male and the second female, the first has 2 plugs, the second 2 slots at 180 °.
  the clearance in the adjustment allows a small offset between the machine and the propeller shaft.
  I hope you see it better there :

• That's a great combination Dave - that pump really works well. I have a couple of those as I'm a sucker for Stuart but never really tried them out - I just may copy your nice setup.
