There's a bit of a story here. These parts are in the wife's Grandma's barn. They belong to her Uncle. He's had this pump for 40+ years and hasn't done anything with it. I have been bugging him for the past 4 years to sell it to me but he hasn't yet. These parts have been sitting out in the open all this time with rammy kids around and nothings busted (yet), I told Gramma and Nancy's cousin to get this stuff out of the barn and protected. Now, when I took these pics, I didn't look to see if there was a tag to see what type of pump it was, and the rest of the pump was in the loft of the barn and never got a chance to get up there, so I was wondering if any of you out there can tell by the pics, sorry they aren't great. Thanks. Ken. PS- I WILL get it someday! IP: Logged |

I would keep trying. Try shooting them a price. It is a shame that people know that they will do nothing with it & will let it sit & rot or get broke. I guess they think if someone else wants it it is rare & worth alot. A shame about the blobe sitting there getting ruined. Hope you get it ![]() IP: Logged |

Oh yeah,I'll keep tryin', I'm pretty patient and Nancy's Uncle is a good guy so hopefully he'll come thru someday. He's also got some old cars out there too that I'd like to get, he knows that I want them too... The globe is still in nice shape, that's just bird poop on it. On the same note that it's a shame to let stuff sit and rot, my eccentric brother is like that. He's a PACK RAT of all pack rats. He's got a '66 Chevelle ragtop sitting in the quonset at home at the farm sinking up to the floorboards in the dirt. He bought it in '76 a running car, in '78 pulled the heads off to put on his half-ton, never did anything to the car but let it sit. In '81 we built the quonset, towed the car in the front corner and sits there to this day, deteriorating every year. I always bug him about it, I've tried to buy it from him, but nope won't sell it to me. He said I can restore it and drive it when ever I want to though... yeah-right. He did tell me he's leaving it to me in his will though, he better watch his back, hee,hee. KLB. IP: Logged |
