Cool pump if you want to travel to get it

Again, what is reasonable offer? To whom and where?

There is a link to the listing

Nicely painted, BUT it is missing the stack that would be connected to top of Bell. To open the Bell & Stack would raise approx 30".
The one on CL has the gallon selector for 1-5 gal [small dial on left of large Total gallons delivered dial.
Here is a picture showing one Closed & Open, so you can see what it's missing;

Oh wow your write. Would it be worth a trade and try to find the other parts?

Just have to find someone parting the one Correct one out. 1 has a lower 1/2 of stack that slides into upper 1/2 of stack, another is like picture I posted where the whole stack & Globe slide up [globe base will be approx 12-13' when fully opened]. Sheet metal on most have to be replaced. It's finding the castings & inner mechanic's that will be the problem.

On Jack Sim's web site, the 3rd picture shows the 1/2 stack open & last picture shows the full stack open;

Some BOWSER 102's have the hose stored inside the housing when closed [full stack raises] & others have just the nozzle inside when closed [1/2 stack raises].

I bought this one the other day. When opened the stack slides up into the upper stack.

BOWSER 102, 1/2 Stack Slider, hose connection on outside, only nozzle is locked up for night.
