Hi everyone. This is that round lubester type thingy grease pump I got from old Harry. It was covered in thick grease and when i started to degrease it ...i found an old Richfield decal. Its still not done being cleaned but i am gonna just clean her up and wax her and leave her as is. i like the decal and its pretty readable. Anyone know about when these Chassis grease pumps were made? By the eagle on the Richfield decal I would guess early 50's or before...any insight?

Yipper Dwaine..Old Harry said it had a grease bucket in it but a scavenger before me took the bucket and left the Housing. I bet he got a cool old Richfield bucket...darn ..at least he left the rest for me. :-)

Hubba, Now we are talking. If that thing works I might be interested in trading?????? It went over a quarter drum for lube jobs. Grease those zirks buddy. Before sealed bushings, tie-rods and all that crud. Lube every 1000 miles in 1957. You lube em they don't wear out. I still use almost the same one. Old school the right school. Ted

Sure Ted..i would trade..dont know if it works but it probably does. I cut the hose off it to make it easier for me to clean but I am sure you can put a new hose on it. LMK
