If I know of anyone I'll let you know but unfortunately I don't. Maybe the dealer I go to will get another one.

There is a Sime Synkro on eBay for 400$+. Wedge drive version of this with a stream diffuser

aluminum. the sprinkler is very lightweight for a 2" impact gun. This is 1 pump btw. It really got some great distance for 1 pump.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan I do agree, It had a great distance to that nozzle, and works like a charm.

​@@randyvanheusden732 When the sprinkler clicks to trip reverse it's very pronounced. The trip pin that activates reverse must have quite a spring on it to be that loud

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan It is very noticeable. You can here the sound of the aluminum.

I did yes!

I believe the rotor is NOS. I have not messed with the spring or anything. I have ran it as I got it. I think the pressure makes the arm move fast.

I love these old brass rotors. I need to find the brothers of this. The 81B and 87. Then Buckner's versions too!

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan I do not hunt for ones like that because I could not do anything with them, unfortunately. I will have to enjoy them from your videos.

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks!

Ive seen the 200 big guns irrigating the fields, and believe me with the pumps those farmers have I'd stay way back from them. Not only can they hit you, and hurt you during reverse, they go past their left stop because even though they hit the left stop and pulled that reverse spoon out of the stream, theres residual force from it reversing, i've had one reverse and aim right above my head with its crazy stream it puts out, i was lucky i was just short enough for it to miss my head. That would have hurt to get hit by that. Some can even snap pipes! Imagine seeing that and having a 80 ft geyser in your field!

Water can be a very powerful force to deal with…!!

​@@oldschoolsprinklers9000I wish I had your pressure going to the gun. 130 psi at the gun would really make this dangerous. I believe the psi right now is 53psi

I had trouble in the beginning with the stand tipping over. I realized the ring that holds the pipe in the middle needs to be pushed down farther on the pipe so the legs spread out better. Once I did that the stand stayed up and didnt even hardly move. So now I know (I am still learning) how to set it up next time so that it stays solid even with the crazy pressure my pumps put out!

We are always learning something new all the time!

It is! Gotta stay back from these when they're running! The reverse force is crazy especially if you are running high pressure through the gun. The drive arm is even being kicked back pretty far from the high pressure.

These impact guns by Sime are really cool. I want to get a Sime synkro which is a 2" wedge drive version of this and it has a stream diffuser too. However the one I saw was 400$. Quite expensive.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan that is Spendy.

They were 5HP transfer pumps by Pacer. SE2UL E950. 195GPM and 50PSI. 2 in series

Yeah I got also a hunter PGP and a Rainbird rotor and they're broken. Don't rotate or popup and leak. It's funny how the orbit is the only one working out of the 3.

It worked decent enough, but my dad had issues with it and removed it from his yard. I am still learning on these so. I also love the impact sound! Its different not hearing it!

Yeah I got this because my neighbor had 3 of them and I always was over there watching them run. Back then the 25 spoon drive impacts were my favorite. I even found a few people who had the blackbird version with the brass spoon arm and metal trip collars. Those are rare.

I collected many as a kid. I had a lot of them. Beta II, alpha II, 25, 25PJ,Melnor, Gilmour, rain time, lego water whiz, etc

These truly are great sprinklers. Even this being as old as it is, it still works great. I would love to see your sears model too.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan Maybe I will have to make a special video since I just made one and now I have to put it together.

Same here. That's got to have 100 psi or more at the nozzle for that to have that much force during reverse. And the drive arm is held in place during reverse by the force as well. I have a P200 of my own but my pumps aren't nearly as powerful as this one. I'm using a super small nozzle on mine and with 2 pumps in series I got enough to run it decently. It not like this.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan They know how to put on a show I know that much.

Would like to see one with the brake tension loose. They can snap pipes I've heard and flip over carts with that much force. Then you'd have a 80 ft geyser in your field. They also are very dangerous. The fast reverse force is deadly and if the gun were to hit you during reverse it could crack your head open. Heard about that from some irrigation techs who worked on them. When they're operating with that much pressure it's best to stand far back from them. They can jump their left stop and go back farther than theyre supposed to. The fast reverse design is problematic too. Lots of issues like getting stuck in reverse, brake wearing out, not keeping it adjusted. Techs don't like to mess with these anymore. Especially on the end of a pivot.

?

I'm using city water. Not sure maybe 40 50 psi

Thanks 👍

One of them wasn't moving the arm. I think something got caught in the nozzle. The arm was sitting in the stream and directing the water to the side. I think something just got caught in the nozzle.

I have a few of these in black green and red and one that's 3/4" that is a commercial version

I agree!

They have some high pressure going through them. Can see misting!

I think so too!

Thanks Bill! I must've got the 2 confused! When I first powered this up it wouldn't rotate. After I moved it manually back and forth it started moving on its own. I think the bearing was stuck and moving it got it going again. Might have sat for awhile before being used .

Yeah If i run my PC100 gun with 2 pumps with .70" Nozzle i get 53PSI according to the guage. I should put one on this to see what its at. Also i did notice the reverse the trip mechanism bounces, you're probably right that the arm is bouncing too much!

Thanks. Came in a box of garage sale sprinklers. 10 for them all

I have seen those too. However I only have a rise N rain that has the alpha II head inside. Not the green case Nelson with the PJ brass head inside

Yes by either tightening the brake tension or adjusting the drive spoon

you could also use a bigger nozzle. a Bigger nozzle will push the arm down farther giving it more dwelling time between arm strokes, being that you have enough pressure/flow to use it. This i think may be the limit of my 2 pumps.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan yeah ok I tighten the brake tension it will impact slow but it turns rather fast

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan also I have increased size of nozzle running at 110 psi

​@@Chas-vx5cx adjust the drive spoon out of the stream if you want it to move forward slower. Adjust in the stream if you want to go forward faster. Also if it's a fast reverse you can adjust the reverse spoon to go faster or slower during reverse

Yeah I have another with the red color nozzle. That was also NOS off eBay

These truly are good popups compared to what they sell now. Id rather have this or a Buckner brass popup in my yard than anything new sold today.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan This one must have a larger nozzle than the ones I have.

@@NelsonBigGunP200Fan In general I like the Rain Bird design P5-2045 design, but I am seeing there are issues where they stop working over a period of time and the trip will not trip. So they too have an issue. I am not a fan of popups, because they are too hard to work on and too finicky.

Ive never had one of these before. Took me a minute to figure out how to adjust the arc.

Now i can take better videos, no movement!
