This is all I had to start with.

Are you restoring or have you already finished the pump. If finished, please post pics.

I think he likes keeping us in suspension!
Sure Hope we get another picture on Monday.

MORNING Can't stay long,got a honey do list this morning. He's killing me,as I have new interest in the Frys,for special project.

LOYD I CANT WAIT TO SEE! DID ANYONE CATCH THE EBAY SALE OF THE FRY 17 "HALF A PUMP & A TOP" IT WENT FOR LIKE $186.00 BUCKS THERE WERE A LOT OF GOOD PARTS & MORE IMPORTANTLY A ORIGINAL ACCESS DOOR COVER ! ANYWAYS LOYD, GET THE CAMERA OUT !

Octagon brass frame and pattern glass that my friend used on the FRY for 30 years as a yard lite.

Pieces blasted,cleaned and body work under way.

Trial fitting of cylinder and top.

Painted and clearcoated skins.

Decals and ID Tags. My friend said that the Franklin dealer where he bought the pump sold Pennsoil.

Starting to assemble.

Decided to machine some missing parts out of my scrap.I don't know how I was able to get the meter tube packing gland and nut
off without destroying them. Also made a "sort of"diverter cap.

Made the meter tube handle out of an aluminum bearing housing and hot rolled rod. Also need to make up the 5 gal locator fingers. The only repros I found were for the 10gal.

Looking good!

Spent quite a bit of time fitting the conduits. Cutting and rethreading and the connectors barely tighten down together.
The bannana nozzel was a local auction find. From the Voc-Ag Shop at my high school,their scrap pile provided the stone guard material.

I guess this is where I am at this point. Sorry for the barrage of photos. I finally got the knack of resizing the photos! Still looking for a restoreable base with pump unit. A quick flow shutoff valve. The locator fingers I guess I will have to fabricate. A white fabric hose would look better. The "goodwife" indulged me and bought me a price box for Christmas!

LOOKS GOOD.

Looks Real Good!!!!!

Great Job! Love the yellow.

I'M NOT A COLLECTOR OF VISIBLES AT ALL. BUT I LOVE THE YELLOW AND PENNZOIL COLOR THEME! MAKES IT AN OUTSTANDING FINISHED PRODUCT!

Doc,
That's not Invader yellow! LOL

The yellow ended up to be a dead on match of the original first
coat of paint. The layers after were brushed red oxide next a medium green and finally flat black. I repainted red oxide inside.

Looks great nice job

SMOKIN' hot!!!

Beautiful Restoration!

Outstanding work!
