Show us your Gas Pump..

That right there is friggin cool ... what did you use for the motor, etc?

 

I have been thinking about getting an old pump & restoring it. You guys are inspiring me!!!

 

Do it! I love mine!

 

That right there is friggin cool ... what did you use for the motor, etc?


I found a 120v right angle gear reduction drive motor at a electrical surplus store for 20 bucks............... then had to remove all the pump parts and make a bracket for the motor. The mechanical computer has a center drive shaft that was easy to adapt................

 

... and the reset works, etc .... you did a great job!!

 

I'm new to the gas pump thing. Is there websites dedicated to them? How about parts & other info?

 

My next house I am definitely getting a gas pump for it!!

This is what is left of my gas pump privacey fence.Over the last 25 years most have been restored and sold.

 

Hi All
Here is a picture of my 1926 G&B Model 177 I finished restoring this past summer(2012). Of course, now looking for another. Just another ADDICITION

I put a $6.00 globe on top for fear of high winds(Mobil Globe inside) I also put Red/Green Bulbs for Christmas Season. Also, took some poetic license by using an Axe handle(Home Depot)as a pump handle and adding sink Drain pipe for cylinder filler and sink flange for gas umbrella/mushroom head inside cylinder and finally a 25w bulb also inside cylinder.

here is mine. pretty ho-hum!

 

Here are some of ours in the great room where we have all of our toys.

 

Well lets see if it works this time.

 

Gilbert & Barker. early 1920's. Purchased out of a barn near York, Pa. It had been used on a farm to pump kerosene- and so the "innards" were in great condition. We sand blasted, welded, primed, and painted. The kids were more work; but the little one helped every step while the big one was away at college. The pump is a bit over 9 feet tall- so I didn't even get to ask about putting it in the house. Now it resides with the old cars in the shed.

 

For all those that posted pumps today ... they all look great and from pre-visible to calculating.... nice group.

 

This is mine & I really screwed up when I bought it as the other one (that I passed on was a matching(following serial number to this one). Once we(seller & me) discovered this the price went up on that one.

 

Time for a bump !!

 

1955 A. O. Smith

 

Here is a door that I had extra when I bought my two pumps. It does not belong to my pumps so I just painted it and hung it on the wall with an autographed photo of Norm Grabowski in the window opening. I absolutely love this stuff!

 

Old thread but bring it back up

 

here is one of mine.

 

One of the guys in town here likes em..

 

Lots of nice stuff guys. Amazing collections. I'm low budget. Paid more for the sign on the front than I paid for the pump but it's cool. A.O.Smith circa 1963 or so. Leaded Premium for 37.9 a gallon.

 

Killer collection you got there pumpman! I see some great globes in there. The globe holders (pumps) ain't bad either.

 

Very nice collection he has.
