I finally take the good step and buy my first gas pump, it's really difficult to find american pump in belgium, usually it's french pump like "satam" or "boutillon".
So I finally found an american pump like I said yesterday, it's a gasboy pump from 1965.

I got it directly from the farm that used it since 1965 to last week ! I drove 2 hours to take it and 3 hours 30 minutes to came back ( thanks to the traffic in brussel )

I remove the motor and the guts to lighten it





I just need an original nozzle for it

Looks to be in great shape....I like the nozzle too..... good luck... Post photos when all cleaned up.

I've just finished to clean the nozzle, the plastic cover was really dirty and all broke, so I removed it and clean the nozzle

I just need to fix the plastic cover, two pieces needs to be paste



and the pump is all clean

Thats a nice clean pump, perfect condition.

You know what this means, they will multiply and you will need more storage. From my own relatives in Europe, I know space can be a problem, and if I remember you are living with your folks...maybe you can do like they do in the dorm rooms at the University of Maryland. Students stack or build structures so their beds are up high (like the top bunk of a bunk bed), and put desks or clothes dressers under them. You could fill that space with short pumps!

Of course getting out of bed in the middle of the night to visit the restroom (WC) will be interesting if you are not awake enough to remember you need a ladder to get out of bed...

Congrats!
