James N Kirby used the Tecumseh designs under license when Kirby's still manufactured in Oz. (And initially when they began a joint operation with Kulthorn in Thailand)
Kulthorn Kirby still exists as a public company in Thailand and utilise their own designs these days.
Kirby Refrigeration in Australia is a name only, although the wholesaling business was originally a part of James N Kirby. it's now a subsidiary of Beijer Group, a Swedish based multi national.

When you guys first mentioned Kirby, I thought it was the vacuum cleaner brand! Haha! Always educational here

Look whose home

Also Micheal and the crew at Adelaide Hills provided awesome service again!!! No more press on transmission lines! They changed it whilst in there!

[Tins]

Look whose home

YAY! But it looks like they pinched your headlight washers

Gave mine a gentle touch, while changing a fog light; it ain't no more.

Why would you need to clean a vacuum?

[scarry]

Too right. Need another section for Fridgie Memories.

There is one on here somewhere, I suppose we better move over to it before we get punted off here

Vacuum cleaners, not something I use very often.
Vacuum pumps, yes dragged a few of those around all over the place for years
Those old 2 stage belt drive ones were bloody heavy, we used to mount them on casters.

What about the old CL series Kirby compressors?
A mate still has one in a box under his house, brand new.Just a boat anchor now.

<sup>LOL no I havent had head light washers for a long time, my horse made off with them!

Forgotten about that one 3HP & poss larger (??) 3 phase I recall, yep they were ok as well
For an anchor he would be fortunate, as they had a factory welded Lifting lug on top so just fit a galv shackle Job done. Oh, Plus an Anchor.
