FOSTER STEAM TRACTION ENGINE MECHANICAL LUBRICATOR

Up for auction is this rarely found, original, mechanical lubricator by William Foster & Co Ltd. OF LINCOLN. This is the type regularly found on traction engines and steam rollers. I was told this one used to be fitted to a Burrell agricultural engine. It has sat gathering dust on my shelf for a while.

All appears to be in good order, I have tested it myself, and it is in full mechanical working order, and pumps very well. ready to fit on any traction engine today.

The lubricator is 7" tall, 5" wide and 3 1/4" deep (approx) and comes compleate with strainer and full working ratchit gear and linkage arm, and winding handle.
