Welcome to Oldgas. I'm sure the members here can help. It might help if you give the model number of the Gilbarco pump you need assistance with. Good luck!

David... The model number or a photograph would help. Once you have identified the model number, you can get a Parts Manual from Vics66.com. I restored a Gilbarco 906 and it was much less complicated than a Bennett or Tokheim from the same era. The Gilbarco parts manuals have nicely drawn isometric drawings detailing the parts and how they fit together. If your pump is a 906, I'd be glad to help you out. Good luck.

Gilbarco 900 series pumps are easy. First you need to remove the top. Remove the reset crank and the nozzle perch handle. This can be difficult. I usually heat the pot metal block between the frame and computer. Pot metal melts easily. It leaves easy access to the drift pin in the shaft. Using a Dremel, grind off the pin and the shaft will rotate out. To reinstall, thread the shaft to take jam nuts. Usually 1/2" and use them to lock the handle back into place at the end. Once you have the top off, you will find two 3/8" bolts about 8" down from the top of the side. one on each side rail. Remove them. At the base, there are two more bolts that need to be pulled. They go through the base. Once this is done, the sides will lift off. Regards, Paul www.severngaspumps.com
