Lookin good Bill. Looks like you are ahead already you got it in the house Do you have rollers on the wood floor pan? That is a good idea to distribute the weight so you dont mat the carpet down in one spot.

Gasoildude how you doing! Yes I did put
Rollers on the wood floor. I’m thinking I may move the pump to the den, there it would sit on hard wood floors and would be easy to move… tallgye49, eye-catching!!!! Thank you for the kind words. Pictures do not do it justice.

ward zaharia, I like that term experienced drill press. You absolutely correct. The drill press is from the Los Angles Herald Examiner news paper the year was 1960. I have no idea how long it was there before I got it… dicespumpandpaint thanks much for the kind words,

Bill

Hello Vman, I had the paint matched to the Richfield decal that is produced by Michael A. Slama, Inc. He has a web site listed, check it out in pump parts. The yellow is also from his decal.

If you ever need pictures just let me know,

Bill

Nice job on the pump. Now that you're done why not drive up here to Solvang and put mine together for me too. It's all painted in Richfield colors and just needs to be assembled. Same pump and everything, even have a globe for it. I also have an oil can rack and matching grease pump to go with it that need to be assembled too. The weather is great and you can have some Danish pancakes. I'll even drag you over to Mendenhall's place if you haven't been there.

What else do I need to do to temp you?

Here's a Richfield montage to get you in the mood.

I've been missing Curts colorful photographic replies..... Experienced drill press. Thats funny. Whats funnier, is that I used to deliver the Herald Examiner. That was a forgotton chapter in my life.
