Landis 3 wax pot seal

[speedybri]

Hello everyone.  

I'm in the process of cleaning up an old landis 3.  Does anyone know if the rubber seals for the campbell randall wax pots will work for the landis 3 one?   The campbell seals are the only ones I seem to find.  

Thanks you much.

I don't have a Landis 3 to compare to....Although I'd gamble they might be similar to what's in a Landis 16?  The Landis Amishman in McCleansboro IL has strippers for the 16. I think the're kinda pricey for what they are.  Long ago I was cheap and just made my own from blocks of rubber.  I got the best results from just taking a block of 1/2" 40 durometer rubber and greasing it up real good and using a punch of the right diameter. one good whack and a cylinder shaped piece pops right out.  Put in the wax pot and just lightly tighten it down.  Use a small awl or really thin/fine nail sharpened real sharp to poke a hole while it's in the guide.

I called him.  He's sending a set.  Thank you!

Thank you! 

I was down in Arthur last weekend and wanted to stop in but time was a factor.  We were picking up a nice John Deere wooden wheel farm wagon east of him about 25 miles and were in a hurry. I'll be heading down to that area in a few weeks and will make it a point to stop in.  He's kept my Landis Nr.1 in parts, shuttle, needles and knobs.

I think he moved?  Two years ago I sent him a list of parts I wanted in writing to his long published Arthur IL address and I didnt hear back.  A year ago I call his answering service and he called me back. Said he never received my order so I gave it to him then.  When the parts came his invoice was overstamped McLeansboro.

Thanks, I'll check that out.  WOW......that's 160 miles from Arthur!!  A bit of a stretch for his horses!
