Claim:
1. A system for applying a two-part adhesive to a substrate, the system comprising: a carrier; at least one wheel rotationally coupled to the carrier; a first receptacle for storing a first compound, the first receptacle having an outlet in communication with the first compound; a second receptacle for storing a second compound, the second receptacle having an outlet in communication with the second compound; a prime mover mounted on the carrier and connected to a gear box through a rotatable shaft, wherein the gear box transfers a driving torque from the prime mover to a first rotatable shaft coupled to a first pump and a second rotatable shaft coupled to a second pump; wherein the gear box and the first and second rotatable shaft do not come in contact with the first and the second compound, the first pump having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the first receptacle and having an outlet, the first pump mounted on the carrier and driven by the prime mover to draw the first compound from the first receptacle and pump through the outlet of the first pump; the second pump having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the second receptacle and having an outlet, the second pump mounted on the carrier and driven by the prime mover to draw the second compound from the second receptacle and pump through the outlet of the second pump; a first manifold attached to a front of a frame, wherein the frame is sized to receive the first compound and the second compound of a two-part compound, and the first manifold is having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the first pump and having a plurality of outlets; a second manifold attached to a front of a frame, wherein the frame is sized to receive the first compound and the second compound of a two-part compound, and the second manifold is having an inlet in communication with the outlet of the second pump and having a plurality of outlets; a plurality of applicators, each applicator having a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet, wherein the first inlet of each applicator is in communication with at least one outlet of the first manifold and the second inlet of each applicator is in communication with at least one outlet of the second manifold, wherein the plurality of applicators are configured to mix the first compound with the second compound to form the two-part adhesive, and wherein the mixed two-part adhesive is discharged on areas that can exceed 40 inches in width from the outlets of the plurality of applicators onto the substrate in substantially parallel beads.
