75% of you guys know what I'm getting ready to say but this is for the other 25%. I have arrived at a conclusion regarding pump hunting, there are more pumps at farms than anywhere else in the south. I have got some of my pumps from EBAY, flea markets, old oil jobbers and their employees but the old farms are, in my opinion, the best thing going now. Drive down secondary roads and look real hard. All of the "easy spotters" are already gone. You gotta look behind buildings, around corners and all nooks and crannies. There are thousands of farms, large and small and at one time almost all of them had there own gas pumps. Most of the pumps are no longer being used and the owners are scared to death of the EPA. My approach is I tell the owner that I will remove the pump, cap off the drop pipe and clean up, the owner doesn't have to lift a finger. I also explain that even though there is still a tank in the ground the flag (flag = gas pump) is now gone. For example, I spent 4 hours last Sunday and 4 hours last Monday, burnt 20 gallons of gas and got 4 nice pumps. My wife was with me and we had a nice and relaxing drive, saw some areas we had never seen and found a couple of neat place to eat. Both days I came home with 2 nice pumps in my truck, 2- G&B 96's, 1- Wayne 100 and 1- Tokheim 305. For the record the prices I had to pay were respectly $100.00, $100.00, $300.00 and $75.00. Being I was the driver I had my wife doing the looking and she spotted all 4 of these. They were hard to see from the road and someone driving and looking alone would've never found them. So team; "SNAP ON YOUR CHINSTRAPS, PUT IN YOUR MOUTHPIECES, ALIGN YOUR JOCKSTRAPS AND GO KICK SOME SERIOUS *** !" Sincerely, Neal Dunn gpf
