Looking for a pair of upper skins for a Tokiem 850. I actually only need the one that is on the reset lever side, but would prefer a pair. Please call 309-781-6196 if you can help.

This could be a long term quest for you! Another member was searching for the same piece for about 2 years and finally gave up and sold the pump.
The piece you are looking for, is a piece that was often damaged by rust on those pumps, thereby creating a big need for upper skins! Face it, there are only so many that get parted out, and they more than likely had upper skin problems too.
There was someone replicating these in fiberglass, but from what I understand, it wasn't very successful, and to date, there isn't anyone reproducing them as a metal replacement?
Good luck in your search!

If you have one I would recommend going to a sheet metal shop and have them fabricate one. It won't be cheap, but at least they have something to work off of. If you get a quote, I bet a lot of guys would be interested and may reduce costs
I have an 850 with a lot of rust on the bottom and I am going to be doing a lot of sheet metal work to fix. It is what it is.

I had bought a set several years ago from a guy in New Hampshire, he stopped making them. But it just shows that they are do-able.
