Jensen 50 pulling makeup water
« on: November 08, 2021, 08:48:19 am »
Hello friends, here is a shop vid of my model #50. There is nothing more fun for me than running this steamer all day in the shop when the weather shuts me down outside. It's a little tour of my steam table with a few farkles overlooking the operation. I like collecting odds and ends that are interesting but don't take up a lot of room.
My very first run of the 50 was so cool when it started pulling feedwater like a boss!
RedRyder clued me in to grease the original gland packing on the pump and now it will drink nearly a gallon of distilled on a 7 hour run.
Thank you for watching!

Great movie of your setup there, and certainly a well functioning feedwaterpump.
Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the view :)
Cheers

A fine plant merely idling along with that bit of a load,  I know your enjoying your purchase.
