As most of you know, I have sold all my pumps and retired from restorations. This Pump of the Month is not helping my withdrawal pains. I move we discontinue it. LOL Keep those great pics coming. Jim's Texaco is AWESOME!!!

Below is a family portrait of my 541's and 371. I titled this photo "group hug".  PLEASE KEEP THE INFO AND PICTURES COMING!! Something I forgot to mention early on was paint codes and paint brand names would be good info regarding any POTM pump pictures posted. ALSO REMEMBER THAT EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES WE STILL WANT TO HEAR STORIES, INFO, RUMORS, LEGENDS OR LIES on our POTM. If you do have any pictures you want posted feel free to e-mail them to me and I will handle it. Thanks! Neal Dunn

Question... one the above picture there are little brackets on top of some of the pumps. The first, second and fifth pumps have them. (the third and forth do not) My green and black pump has one too.
It looks like it is there to hold a pole?
What is it, was it factory and what did it look like complete?
BTW- awesome pumps, keep them coming!
I remember the good old days when gold was worth more than rust!

Jeff, funny that you just mentioned this. While you were posting your topic I was loading the picture below. I was going to ask what this "pimple" was. It's not on all of the pumps, examining it closely from the inside and out I can't figure out what it does. The pumps that don't have these do not have a puchout or any sign of anything in the sheet metal.  Any help on this is appreciated! Neal Dunn gpf

Yeah, I was shocked when I saw them on other pumps here in this section. I just thought mine was done at some station, some guy with too much time on his hands. The ones in these other pictures are exactly like mine though. From the inside of mine it is messy, it looks to be welded up under there, don't know why.

I believe the brackets were to hold price signs. I have a Bowser 575 that has something similiar in the nozzle receiver and my Tokheim 39, National 64, and my Tokheim 300 have rods that come out from under the top and had a price sign slide on to them.

GPF: My thought on the dimples on top. If they are threaded inside perhaps they were to accommodate the island light accessory shown in Bennett brochure above? Jim

41again, feel free to post your 373. I figured down the road we would have the clockface versions of the 541/371 as POTM but myself and others would love to see yours. If you need any help posting it just e-mail it to me and I'll handle it.
Regarding the "pimple" we have been discussing I will try to take one off today and post a few pictures so we can decide for sure exactly what it is.
THANKS FOR ALL THE ACTIVITY on this forum, keep those replies coming.

same stub sticking out of a 76!?!?
pump freak your doing an awesome job!
keep those pics coming.
i DO NOT own a 541 & is it just me or has anyone else noticed that you end up with 2 or 12 of one thing & zero of another? - i spotted a 4 ad glass 541 some years ago on a farm but nobody was home. i made it back there a couple months later & it was LONG GONE!!!!!! it probably sat there for 20 years & i missed it by 2 months!?! I had time to burn that day so i went searching around & came home with another 60!!??!!
a 541 is on my WANT list i think the metal work & looks of these pumps are awesome!!!
WHAT did we figure out for a nickname on these pumps?
LIGHTHOUSE
GRAIN ELEVATOR
CABOOSE
???
