    Our irrigation system is about 35 years old and was designed with ThompsonIrrigation heads. We have been changing slowly with Rainbird heads but we are looking for parts for our Thompson heads that remain. To me they work just as well if not better than some of the rainbird heads we have and we would like to keep a few of them as long as possible.

    If anyone knows where we can get Thompson Irrigation parts please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Are they the cast and brass heads, maybe 4 or 5" in diameter? Separate gear motor inside of them? If so, I may know of somewhere that has a couple of hundred sitting out behind the shop. We went through a complete head swap out a few years back at my last course, but had saved a lot of the old heads. Shipping would be a b*&#@ though since they were so heavy.
