Picked this up in a tool grouping. It has no id marks to help me in identification. It's shaft is 7/8" and is 4 3/4" overall and is in perfect shape. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

That is the internal piston assembly for an automotive air conditioning conpressor. Those pistons move on a waveplate that is missing.

It is the pistons and rods from a hydraulic pump

Device used to artificially inseminate cephalopods at a squid ranch. The extra leg is used to create triploid hybrids, which grow faster.

That unit is from a hydraulic pump or motor. There is no swash plate or wave plate used on that piece. The shaft itself is set on an angle to the axis of the rest of the pump so it would be like a fixed swash plate.

Bent-axis rotating group and cylinder block. Most likely a hydraulic motor. Looks like an old Vickers design.

It looks never used, without any part numbers I can't ID it at a all. Wonder what kind of value it may have but I definitely think you're correct. Been investigating all night. Funny because I paid 5.00 at a sale in which I really was buying a toolbox filled with vintage tools. The guy said he thought it was a gun reloading tool, lol.

I always wondered what the extra leg was for.

It might help if they didn't look at you like it was growing out of your forehead!




The pump parts? Strictly decorative, unless they have a part number and a sealed package around them. Even then, you really need to get lucky and find 'the' person that needs it.

Tool collection likely came from someone that dealt with them in his day job, and the pump parts were either leftovers or otherwise written off parts that were too cool looking to chuck away, but otherwise never going to be of use.

No value except as desk ornaments or for training the new guy.

Google orbital motor images & look for a section view. Neck snapping torque at low speeds. That one may look good but as they wear they go south quick.
