Today at 12:23 PM Wayne 60/866 Ad Glass dimensions...? by SodaJim

Hello everyone,

I have a very basic question that I couldn't seem to locate an answer to:
What is the actual dimensions for Wayne 60/866 Ad Glass...?
And does it matter whether it's a narrow/wide body...?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi all.
I don't know anything about this pump(and many other things), and I'd like some help in identifying this pump. My google search got me nothing, 'cept I did find this place. I'd like to know the year it was built and where I can get parts to restore it.
Here's some pix. There's a tree casting shadows on the pump, so it looks kinda stained, but it's not.

Thanks

Anyone see American Pickers tonight with the visible pumps? I know there is much discussion good and bad about this show and what's staged for TV. These guys can also be idiots but this was an interesting episode.

I see T-way has a decal but I saw a really cool globe or decal somewhere with the torch and I thought an Olympic-type figure standing in it also. Anybody ever seen that one or no who makes them? Thanks

Yesterday at 01:02 AM 13.5 hours and 569 miles later... by badgas

Started the day today at 5am and came back home at 6:45pm. Made three stops along the way. First in Bakersfield, then Fresno, then Crows Landing to pick up the 51/52 bed.

The pumps and Coke ice chest were on top of the office ceiling inside the metal shop building. The seller works for a construction company and transports/operates heavy machinery. He was able to get a front loader to aid with removal of the pumps. Wouldn't have been fun doing that by hand.

Two Rapidaytons and the Coke ice chest were first to see the light of day in years.



The two Tokheims were next.



Thanks to a tip provided by oldnfuelish in another post, I obtained some used tires from a friend's body shop and laid them on the trailer and placed the pumps on top. Worked great all the way home.







After we were loaded, we made our way to Fresno to drop off about 10 old Tonka trucks that I sold to a collector.

Lastly, we made our way to Crows Landing to pick up a 51/52 Ford F1 bed.

Luckily, the older lady that owned the bed had a working forklift that the neighbor kid knows how to operate. Not sure I would have been up to the task of loading the bed with a massive homebuilt rear bumper.



Loaded and ready to finally head home.




I also found this 16" x 5" wide (5.5 x 5 bolt pattern) in the lady's yard. She let me have it. I asked her if she had any more, but no luck. This was the only one she had. I also got a Texaco Brake Fluid can and two porcelain (sp?) light shades from her. See in the current BOTW.



Needless to say, with the loss of one hour today, I'm very tired as I type this.

Sun Mar 14 2010 10:16 PM Vintage air compressor - seeking info by thermactor

I picked up this very primitive compressor recently from a fellow oldgasser. I'd really like to know more about it, and am seeking any info or old literature/pictures.

The motor is a Victor, and there is no name on the actual compressor unit or the tank. Tank is riveted sheet brass with brass valve handles. Compressor base plate is solid cast iron, and the flywheel stand is cast aluminum. The gold details are reminiscent of a sewing machine, and I'd speculate that the unit is from the teens or possibly 20s. The wooden base and box are clearly hand-built.

I'm assuming it was intended for either inflating tires or running a paint gun. Any ideas?







Thanks,
Wes
