Can anyone provide a picture of what tag went where these two holes are on this pump ? Thanks for the help . Would like to find an original if someone has one also .

I will look at mine tomorrow I dont recall seeing any holes in mine where you are showing.

Thanks appreciate it . I looked thru a lot of 150 images and can’t identify a brass tag that goes there . Serial tag is present , Bennett tag is present . The holes didn’t show until after sand blasting and powder coat . Old paint and surface rust covered them . Every other item was attached to the pump , hose , nozzle , visi gauge all except the globe and that set of holes where some type of tag went .

I've never seen anything on that location of the pump before. Some company may have but an ID serial number tag there. Richard

The holes are so small they would be rivet holes and unthreaded .You do not really notice them from 2-3 foot away but it bugs me and probably always will . Like it is not complete unless i plug those buggers. LOL .

My top skins are original so will find out tomorrow if I have them holes

I’ve never seen anything there on a 150. Maybe it was a standard oil pump & it had the small brass tag that standard used on everything???

It was and still is a standard oil pump and standard oil placed a brass tag on it riveted to the top castings with their name et’c. Per close up of this image .

I have four 150’s and a EMD 450, I’ll check them all tomorrow.

It was more than likely the ms brass tag standard used on all of there equipment to keep track of maintenance & catalog there equipment. I hav some & can take pics if necessary. It is a different tag than the one you pictured

I checked mine has no holes

Just an FYI: None of my 150’s / Bennett clocks (132 & 450) have those holes.

See my post above showing the standard oil co. id tag thats riveted to the pump casting . Must be they decided to place one on the upper sheet metal cabinet also as the hole spacing is pretty close to the one on the casting . Just couldn’t see any reason why they would put one on the cabinet when the standard brass I’d was already riveted to the pump main frame shroud casting . Thanks

Thanks if not too much trouble please do . If the spacing of the rivet holes look similar and the tag is different i will have to hunt one down . Thanks for your input .
