I just found a Clear Vision pump that is a model 571. I can't find it in Jack's book. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the internal pump shown in the photos of a typical one or is a air pump type? Before restoring it I was wondering if the internal pump should be kept in it or taken out to save weight. Thanks everyone! Don

Hand operated. Leave it in for the weight distribution. These old visibles get pretty tippy if you don't have some weight in the bottom. Try to lean one over to move it and it will likely swap ends on you, without that bottom weight.

IF you removed the Pump, how would you attach the Pump Handle? By adding Funky Large Washers & a Bolt?

Leave it in as DB has stated, not worth taking out for all the above reasons also.

Thank you everyone for the help! Being that I'm in the Wichita area, all I need to complete the collection is a Wichita Visible Pump now.

Any chance I can get a picture of this pump for a revision of my gas pump books I am considering writing?
