I just bought the Bennett 371-F that was listed for sale on oldgas as it was 45 miles away. I would like to find the parts to complete it. He ended up giving me the meter face plates. Parts needed:

Set of nice complete doors
Side panel access door
Globe ring/mount
light assembly for a 4 ad glass/globe top pump
side hose outlet assembly
sightlglass bezels
reset crank
inner side ad glass retainers

I will see if it worth completing based on the cost/parts I can find. I can wait until Iowa gas to pick up items also if that would help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Todd.

Did you get the 541 doors he had? It would be some work but they could be converted into 371 doors and easier to do than converting 371 into 541s.

The globe holder, reset crank, sight glass bezels and the hose outlet bezel can be bought new.

Parts found: 2 site glass bezels and 1 inner ad glass retainer. Thank you old gas for those. Still needing the rest. I have a wayne 60 and a wayne 40 light assembly I could trade or even a set of wayne 60 hips. BTT.

The light unit for Bennett 371s are hard to come by. I have three that are missing the light unit. Here is what I did to one of them. I used a light unit from a Bennett 700 series, put shorter pipe on the side sockets, removed the globe socket pipe and made a new one. The top socket holder is from a Bennett 500/600 series but there are new sockets that will screw right on the pipe. The channel piece of metal that the light unit is bolted to is a part from a Tok tall 39, but you could use any piece of metal to mount it.

That looks good. I may have to do something creative also. I didn't realize how few Bennett 371 parts were out there. Thanks for sharing. Todd.

300 and 500 series Bennett pump parts are hard to come by. I am still lokking for some to complete a 371.

I do have an extra side panel in real nice shape. It is the crank side for a 541.
