What is this?

What is this? Is it a hydralic jet-o-vator? Where can I get parts if needed? I havn't ever seen one before. It needs a new hydralic cylinder thing (It leaks at the seal). Thanks

Man, I have been building jets for years and I have never seen this one. Berkeley powered their jet o vaters with an electrical actuator and they are available.( or manual) This looks like some kind of proto type somebody put together. You may have to adapt a slave cylinder from another hydraulic system. I'm sure it can be fixed. Looks like you have an old A nozzle on a G bowl.
Drop me a line if you have any questions. Good luck Jim www.performancejet.com (http://www.performancejet.com)

It makes mad roosters!!!! I just keep refilling.... the cylinder has a manufacter date of Nov. 1954! It is from an airplane parts manufacter, and I thinks its for a flap or aileron (sp?). I rebuilt the electric pump (inside boat) and ran new copper lines (plastic line busted on first trip out). I too have never seen one, but I like it. I was thinking of adding a drop snoot.
Thanks again,
Louis

I visited the shop at Place Diverters one time and those guys are pretty cool, they had a lot of hydraulics laying around. Its just a little family business. Call em up. They could at least send you to a supplier.
