My Australian engine friend has found this early German water pump & would like to find more details. Does anyone know a German collector. One person has suggested that it could be a first world war trench pump. Kerrys message is posted below! __________________________________________________________ Any one seen or have information of the Schule / engine unit that I have been given at
Does anyone have a German Engine contact?

What an interesting little device. My gut instinct is this is mid thirties. Surely, it is all of a piece? The engine & pump look very at ease in each other's company! Regards, Kim Siddorn

Googling "f w schule" seems to bring up a lod of pictures of fire fighting appliances - could it originally have been a fire pump? As for the engine, it looks like a relative of the little teutonic single Kim had which ISTR turned out to be a DKW. See:-
How's your Spanish? See about 2/3 down page 4:-
Whilst mine is indeed a Deek, it is one of several they made & is quite a bit bigger than the one on the pump. It is all ali construction and a sturdy Son of the Fatherland could carry it as part of a back pack for crop spraying, I suspect it would become somewhat onerous after a bit!
BTW, I just obtained the magneto for it. Weird it was - only a fiver for the engine last year but £45 for the magneto! A special & about two thirds the size of an ordinary mag. I really must get it on the bench & sus it out.

Hi Guys, I forwarded everything to Kerry and he thinks the engine part is a DKW Type O. See

Similar but has blind head. I'd go for the EW series:-
probably the 301, Athough it is a 6.5 horse power unit rather than the
5.5 stated for the "Pumpmobil" in the spanish article - perhaps Spanish caballos were bigger than German pferds!NHH
