Looking for a connecting rod for a BAUER Mariner

[tda.lasterrenas]

Hello.

Anybody out there has a 1st stage connecting rod for a Bauer Mariner 1984, used or new?

Thanks a lot

Have you got any numbers on your old rod ?

Check with Welcome to August Industries - August Industries Inc.. From what I’ve been told, Bauer doesn’t sell individual connecting rods but August may have a used one. The owner told me they have some old units saved for parts.

Not sure what’s wrong with your old one, but maybe it could be sleeved?

We are located in the dominican republic, and it is almost impossible to find a shop. The bearing is gone on the old one

The rod has 1502 stamped on it. According to the BAUER
part manual, the part number should be 55678-040

That part number isn’t in the Bauer price list, so it’s used or complete crank assembly is likely your only option.

I can look up cost for the crankshaft assembly if you have that part number. For sure going to be way over $2000 US which means find another pump: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254999253737

I just sent a note to see if August Industries has a used one. Even if you do find a rod, you probably have to source the rod-crank bearing yourself.

Good news @tda.lasterrenas, I just got a note back from the owner at August Industries. Sounds like they may have the parts you need - I’m curious if it’s a single rod and or an entire assembly. From what I understand, it’s tricky to get the inner race off the crank if you are replacing a single rod. Please share some pics of the process and where you get the bearing from, etc.

Thanks. Our swiss mechanic took the compressor apart in no time, as well as and gave us a list of the replacement parts needed to make the it run again. Here is a pic of the rods
