what the hell
was in the back of my Z when i bought it.
a bucket full of maybe 75+ pounds of gears.
and the guy i bought it from said he got them from a guy that gave them to him for a prop for the gay B movies this guy usta film for. he was a camera man. anyway when i asked him what they were for he didnt know just that he would ask the other guy and i lost his number so now im wondering.
i took them to my girls dad a a.s.e. and he was like wow.
said they apear to be for some kind of oil pump. im guessing it dosent go on a car. maybe a huge construction tractor or sumthing, maybe a turbo for the gods i dunno but im willing to bet if i can find out what the hell there for i can sell them for a zx turbo motor for my z.
anyhow what was the dead giveaway for him is the oil gulley on the shaft of them. not all of them have it and a few of them are completly unused.
not to much gear wear either..... im goan get a few more pics and look for any kind of numbers on them....

heres some up close pics
there all defintly made of steel stainless?
a few have minior surface rust, nothing a brillo pad cant cure....from being stored in a shed outside.
come to look at them closely theres almost no wear on the teeth of any of them, but i can see on 2 of them were some kind of bearing once rode
i dont think any of them are hollow all the way through either.
some of them apear to be duplicates. one of them is different from all the rest i belive its the key to finding out what they are.
they are very heavy about 10-20 lbs each i belive.
they are all spur gears and will fit into one another 1 way or the other
thats about all i know

Yep, those are pump gears. The long ones are the input that drives the short ones. They are usually made out of carburized steel not stainless. Without the pump housing they are only paper weights.

looks like a few of them have fain traces of motor oil.
what would be the best way to find out what they once drove?

That's weird to have a big bucket of those in the back of your car. Sounds like you'd be best just getting money for the scrap.

its a movie that either didnt make it to theatures and barely got to dvd usually low(er) budget films. ussually better than per say the fils you'd see at like the sunset film festival but way less than block busters.
thats not all that was in the car back there a couple blankets a bunch of paperwork on camera parts and some other junk.
ill try an ebay just to se what happens but if not i got some other stuff i can scrap with these gears.....

There is your best bet.
I work with stuff like this all the time. Any kid of industrial equipment, you are wasting your time chancing used parts. I seriously doubt you would be able to sell them even if you got an ID on them.
Hate to be a nay sayer. That's not me. But these oil pumps are tight tolerance pumps. They rely on the tight tolerances to supply a constant hydraulic pressure for given RPMs in a fixed displacement pump.
I was thinking of some sweet furniture possibilities...
