Apple-Crop: Orchard sprayer identification request

2007-06-22 Thread sblipe
I'm a first year grower looking for an online diagram or owners manual 
for my 500 gallon orchard pto sprayer. No brand name or serial numbers are 
visible except for "Kingston" on a couple of springs. The belts keep 
coming off and the pulley that drives the pump keeps coming out of 
alignment. I'm having difficulty diagnosing the cause and have been unable to 
locate any useful diagrams or references online.

Thank you for any assistance.

Can you take digital photo of it and post it for all to see? I’m sure
someone will have seen whatever it is that you have.

Sara,

Sounds like your sprayer is similar to ours. My son, Paul, has had the same 
problem with our Durand-Weyland 500 gallon sprayer, but he was able to fix it 
so it would not come out of alignment.   If you can take a photo of the sprayer 
and the pulley assembly and send it to me, I will check it out with my son 
Paul, and see if we can help you out.
