I plan on making a water tower. I have a galvanize tank and working on getting the other parts.

Carl

Carl, I have found that stainless steel kitchen canisters used as cookie jars make wonderful water tower tanks. The metal legs on mine are just 1/2" aluminum angle stock sold at Lowes in 8 foot lengths...I needed two. Screws are 6-32 x 3/8" stainless...most wood screws which tap into aluminum nicely with a drilled starter hold and a few machine screws same size.
I used a Swagelok brand shutoff valve, but only because I had one in my parts box...there are much cheaper alternatives out there if you don't mind waiting 6 weeks for delivery from China!

Good luck making yours...a fun project.

Roger

I would love to hear of your experiences with it. One thing I noticed was how great the water pump worked...had to constantly be filling that water cup or it would get sucked dry! Good problem to have!

Post by: IndianaRog on March 03, 2019, 08:28:12 pm: Carl, your engine looks grand. It is so nice that Jensen has once again started making the 50. Does anyone know how many they have made since the re-introduction of that model? The one I just worked on was signed by Andrew Guy on the underside, but there was no number.
