I thought I'd share the whole Lubebar project with you.
Technically, this it isn't correct to have add glasses and a viewing window. This is what I think Tokheim should have built.

This pump came without doors. I built doors out of three damaged Tall 39 doors.

Because these pumps are narrower at the top then the bottom, things had to be cut and welded.

I had to make my own style linkage to make the doors come off instead of opening.

That was interesting to look at with all the photos. I must have sat here for the better part of 20 min. just studying everything. There are techniques here that can be applied to rebuilds, fantasies and not just pump work. Thanks for taking the time to post all the stages.

That's very interesting stuff to see and I encourage any pump builders to show us your talent in this kind of format. It gives the rest of us...including beginners like myself something to really get your head wrapped around.
