Junior, if you like this style of pump, you should go for it. In the pictures, it looks very straight, and the items it's missing are easy to get. Jack Sims book list the value between $500-$650 for equivelant pumps. 200 miles is an easy drive. Again, the most important thing is "do you like it"?

RIGHT SIDE DOC AGREES WITH LEFT SIDE DOC. IF YOU'RE $$$ COMFY - LET IT RIP! HANG UNTIL THE END AND BANG IN A POWER BID OF $300-350 PROVIDING IT HASN'T PAST THAT POINT YET! KEEP AN EYE PEELED ON IT SEE WHERE IT GOES THEN BID BASED ON YOUR POCKET DEPTH. I HAVE AN EXTRA PRETTY CLEAN FACE IF YOU NEED ONE WITH A BEZEL TOO!
THE HOSE AND NOZZLE ABOUT $80+/-
FROM ANY RESTO SUPPLIER. GOOD LUCK IF YOU GO THERE!

I agree with Don, if you like that pump, go for it! I think those GB's are a great pump, they look awesome restored. This one seems cheap do far, the condition looks pretty good. (for that area you would expect more rust, must have seen lots of barn time)
Almost every pump you buy will need new faces, nozzels too. You can get a set of faces for $50 and a nozzle on ebay for under $20.
Take the drive, maybe you will find more pumps on the way!
Good luck!


I remember the good old days when gold was worth more than rust!

Pump looks pretty good, but is missing hose outlet hood (you missedthat), that may take a little while to find. A few dings and ripples on the side. Price looks good..so far
Seller can be vague on description..they are selling 2 matchholders described as "mint..dont know anything about them." Both have tractor logos, on is newer international on a 50 yr?? old holder?? with fresh paint!!

I didn't end up bidding, although in a week or so I'll wish i did. I noticed the trim that holds in the glass in place is also missing (or not in the pic). So now I'll have time (and money) to finish some other projects. thanks for the help. it is much appreciated.

Junior.

I have 2 of theses that are compatable to what you're looking at. I would say $205.00, and remember that doesn't include the time, effort and $ it would take to procure it.
Take what I said here for what it's worth.
Sincerelt,
