Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Non-Petro Discussions Non-petro Discussion and Showcase Pillars !

I know these have been discussed on here and I think Kevin F even sold a set or two, thought some might be interested in seeing a couple I picked up today at a big ole farm barn sale in the Waitsburg, Wa area not quite sure what I'm going to do with them yet but just about killed myself loading & unloading them, gas pumps got nothing on these cast iron monsters !

Just wait till ya get to move a Dayton 50 by Yourself! ALL CAST IRON.

Your right DB, they don't compete with the Dayton 50, I helped a friend unload one once.....heavy beast for sure and I was 10 years younger ! Lol

These were pretty dang heavy and awkward to load/unload by myself !

So what would YOU guys do with these ? I'm kind of at a loss .....

Thanks Z

Probably the same as The Groetken is doing, holding up the corner of building!

Mount to Concrete & stretch a HAMMOCK Between them or mount on each side of BBQ & use for a Sasquatch Spit.

DB your killin me here ? "sasquatch spit" rotflmao !

I know, I know....the poor ole Groetken deserves some attention but I'm just not a pump restorer, I had to save it from certain death at the scrap yard though ! and....by the way it's not holding up the bldg lol !

I keep hoping Richard (gatorgaspump) will come up with a trade for it !

Anyone else have any novel ideas for these scales or pillars ? guess my wallet was working faster than my brain when I bought them hahaha !

Tx Z

I'm still working on a trade. Richard

Sounds like a Sympathy Case! Missing soo many parts that no one makes. Sold my Broken Groetken after 10yrs looking for parts.

You guys cry about a few missing parts for a pump...check out this thread showing the work some guys go through to restore a ww1 army truck.
