I used to cut these pumps down in Canada for Imperial Oil Co. Ltd. We did hundreds of them back in the 60's.. The reason for that was we took computer pumps, removed the computers and meters and cut the metal doors and removed the ad glass, shortend the sides and put a 1" flow meter ( usually Filrite) on top and they used them for farm pumps,,, I would think if your going to have your first pump, it should be a good original, complete with a computer etc. Just my thoughts..
