was in the back of my Z when i bought it.
a bucket full of maybe 75+ pounds of gears.
and the guy i bought it from said he got them from a guy that gave them to him for a prop for the gay B movies this guy usta film for. he was a camera man. anyway when i asked him what they were for he didnt know just that he would ask the other guy and i lost his number so now im wondering.
i took them to my girls dad a a.s.e. and he was like wow.
said they apear to be for some kind of oil pump. im guessing it dosent go on a car. maybe a huge construction tractor or sumthing, maybe a turbo for the gods i dunno but im willing to bet if i can find out what the hell there for i can sell them for a zx turbo motor for my z.
anyhow what was the dead giveaway for him is the oil gulley on the shaft of them. not all of them have it and a few of them are completly unused.
not to much gear wear either..... im goan get a few more pics and look for any kind of numbers on them....

 

heres some up close pics







there all defintly made of steel stainless?
a few have minior surface rust, nothing a brillo pad cant cure....from being stored in a shed outside.
come to look at them closely theres almost no wear on the teeth of any of them, but i can see on 2 of them were some kind of bearing once rode
i dont think any of them are hollow all the way through either.
some of them apear to be duplicates. one of them is different from all the rest i belive its the key to finding out what they are.
they are very heavy about 10-20 lbs each i belive.
they are all spur gears and will fit into one another 1 way or the other
thats about all i know

 

for some reason i am thinking airplane. like big old radial. reminds me of gears i saw on a old Hawker Sea Fury radial my stepdads freind had on a stand at his shop. i could be way off though.

 

looks like paper weights.........

 

nope, i can't say i've ever seen anything like that.......though i agree with 260zturbo ^.^

 

Yep, those are pump gears. The long ones are the input that drives the short ones. They are usually made out of carburized steel not stainless. Without the pump housing they are only paper weights.

 

could always scrap metal them, collect scrap metal and scrap em turn em in for money to the recyclers...

 

or weld them together to make a nifty sculpture

 

hydraliuc pump like a pto or an oil pump......
looks like a few of them have fain traces of motor oil.

what would be the best way to find out what they once drove?

 

18 wheeler transmission parts

 

Looks like $10 in metal recycling. You're well on your way to buying a ZX turbo.... oil pump.

 

its probably for an oil rig my cousins work with thoes things so it's probably just a gear for it or something

 

I hope the B movies were gay as in stupid/dumb and not actually gay, then I'd have to wonder what the hell kind of movie they were using those for.

That's weird to have a big bucket of those in the back of your car. Sounds like you'd be best just getting money for the scrap.

 

what teh hell is a b movie? some sorta porno? lol

 

its a movie that either didnt make it to theatures and barely got to dvd usually low(er) budget films. ussually better than per say the fils you'd see at like the sunset film festival but way less than block busters.
thats not all that was in the car back there a couple blankets a bunch of paperwork on camera parts and some other junk.
ill try an ebay just to se what happens but if not i got some other stuff i can scrap with these gears.....

 

There is your best bet.
I work with stuff like this all the time. Any kid of industrial equipment, you are wasting your time chancing used parts. I seriously doubt you would be able to sell them even if you got an ID on them.

Hate to be a nay sayer. That's not me. But these oil pumps are tight tolerance pumps. They rely on the tight tolerances to supply a constant hydraulic pressure for given RPMs in a fixed displacement pump.


I was thinking of some sweet furniture possibilities...

 

geeeez-----be creative and construct some artsy **** and sell for megabux-----would be better than some of the **** they are calling art in san diego---might make a busk or two for purchase of a z or something......

 

i know what to use em for
its gona be sick

 

LIAR!!!! but seriously.... LIAR. lol



tell meee.....
