It was interesting to see your cleaning process even though I might have done it differently, you were very successful. I learned the orange koolaid method, which does a great job on the brass components and amazing how well it turns out as a result. The washing initially was absolutely necessary. I might have taken it outside with a hose nozzle and wash off the heavy stuff first. Just my way. Great final result and I wanted to see it run afterwards. Hopefully in the next one. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks Frank ! This is the only one iv seen as well. In guessing the factory didn't produce many compared to the US factories. I'm unsure of when the Canadian RB facility closed.
If you have a T bird it has to be either full circle or part circle. If its a part circle model and won't stop going in circles then the trip mechanism is broken inside the gearbox. However it's more likely you have full circle models

Thanks ! It was my first time doing it ! Glad you enjoyed it
Cool sprinkler Mike I have rebuilt thousands of them and never seen a Vancouver Canada built model!

Great video! That’s only the second sprinkler I’ve seen from Rain Bird’s Canadian manufacturing facility in Vancouver. Nice work!
Thank you ! I was pretty excited when I found it with my metal detector haha
I'm also not sure when they closed the Vancouver facility. I havnt been able to find any details on it.
I have a couple T Bird t40 sprinkler and can't figure out how to stop it from 360 around and around any help would be greatly appreciated
