PS nice pump

Guido...
that hose retractor looks like the ones installed on the later 600 & 900/1000 series pumps... but never seen that on a 500 series pump before... its up to you if you want to keep it
... does the pump have the hose retractor assembly internals still there
cheers

Hey Guido...
didnt know there was a fellow Aussie in this forum... G'day ..lol..

thanks Rob ,I feel better now knowing that it is original wont be touching it.
cheers

hi Martin,been watching this site for a while theres a great wealth of knowledge and great members here....welcome

yeah... have been finding that out... that pump was a great find.. very good condition and all there... looks familiar though... no chance you got it from Cynthia in Calif?

Some pump were Modified by owners/service companies like your pump, they added a longer hose & needed/wanted the hose re-tractor to keep Lazy drivers from running over it after fueling.

Nice pump Guido! It appears that this pump has the same features as a Bennett Model # 756. These are original Bennett parts and you have definitely found an ace with very cool original Mowhawk decals. Leave it alone my friend. Forget the 401K folks, invest in precious metals! Good Luck Hunting Goober

That's a nice pump you found there Guido. I'd leave it the way it is.
