I just recently finished with my long drawn out project. This is my first restoration, and is proudly displayed in our kitchen!

Thanks to everyone. I hope that Maria understands, but a restored pump in the kitchen just works in my house with my wife's blessing!
I would like to learn more about Rancho gasoline if anyone knows a bit of trivia or history on the company I would love to hear of it.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

Rick I have seen these 100A reeler pumps at the annual Munroe swap meets at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds. I found my pump there, and the guy I bought mine from said that they were quite popular in the area but only used a short while as they had a really bad habit of leaking!

I didnt notice you are a fellow Washington state OLD Gasser.
I have never been to the Monroe swap meet.I think I will try this Year. I like the colors of your pump. Do you have others? Post more pictures?

Great color combinations, a true hard thing to do when painting and putting things together on a pump. Beautiful job, looking forward to seeing more pumps and pictures.
Thanks

Nice job and congrats on getting it placed in the kitchen. I keep showing my wife these types of pictures and I just keep getting "the look."
I can put pumps in the basement, but would love to put a big ol visible in the living room with the cathedral ceilings.

I know whagt you mean...but I married a girl from Anaconda and is a daughter of an old smelterman and when she gets he "Irish Up" she could pick the pump and me up and throw us both out. LOL Just kidding. She is very understanding on my oil and gas habit, I am just a chicken to push my luck
