I was out riding Saturday morning on some of the back roads in the county I live in when I seen this gilbarco 96 so I pulled up to the house to see if anyone was home but there was no answer I seen a man working in his yard across the street from this house so I went over to find out who lives there he said the lady passed away in march and that there son was going to sell everything so I asked him if he happen to have there son number and he did. So I called him and asked if the pump was for sale and he said yes if I wanted it he would be there in 10 min. After he got there we began to unhook the pump he then said that he had a pump in a trash pile in the woods behind his house if I wanted to look at it I could. So we went to his house walked down in the woods and crossed the creek and I couldn't believe what I was seeing a Wayne 866 trying not to show how excited I was I asked him did he want to sell it he said yes, so he got the tractor and the trailer and we hauled it out. Restoring these two pumps should keep me busy this summer.

Nice finds....the 866 looks like an old gravestone ready to fall over in the original location.
