Need help figuring out what type of Fry conversion this is and what went on top of the top casting where the globe or globe cup went. Found a couple of pictures on line but not very clear. If you have a pump like this or a good picture of what goes on top of the bonnet they would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

That's a Rush conversion Fry. You can tell by the top, which would flip open to change the glass/chicken wire insert or clean the cylinder or change the light bulb. The conduit runs up along the cylinder into the slot at the top. Good luck

Thanks Goober for the info would you happen to have a picture of exactly what goes on the top of the bonnet?

Goober is correct

Hey Don I have a fry with the rush conversion ill try to get you a picture.

Well, I will tell you, I don't have a picture. However, it does appear that the mechanism which allows that top to tilt back is not there. Not much to it really, just a round looking hinge coming off the end of your conduit which screws into that top piece with the hole in it. Have you ever seen those silver colored folding light sockets that are adjustable that they sell at Lowe's? It would work the same way, that's what the hinge looks like. I'm at work in a boiler room, sorry I can't talk much today, fixing a high pressure steam leak. Good luck

Thanks again guys for your input. We do not see many Fry pumps on the West coast 25 plus years and I have only seen a handful in the wild. Tom if you could send a picture that would be great.

Here is a photo of a Rush top with the hinge.
