Tick Day/weekend

[johnjk]

Well it started off good. Got the tick rig set up and full but no pump. Runs but no sucking. Took it apart and probably could rebuild if I could get parts. Off to Rural King. At least they have them on the shelf. Tick day is now Sunday since it is 87 with 95% humidity.

 

[old and tired]

What are you spraying to kill ticks?

 

[johnjk]

Permethrin. I buy it in bulk and mix as I use it

I must be living good. The replacement pump fit with no modifications. The input/output nipples were the correct size and the mounting holes lined up perfectly. I need to go buy a lottery ticket. This pump is super quiet compared to the original unit. I will probably see if I can get a pump rebuild kit from Northern. The chemicals are from Do Your Own Pest Control. 1.5 gallon jugs. 1 jug gets me 2 yrs of application

Sat down and looked for a pump rebuild kit. I can get one for 10 bucks more than the pump costs as a complete unit. I may save the motor for a future project but the pump end is not worth rebuilding
