After months of being patient and using wd40 and or brake fluid as others had mentioned, I went out to work on it a little this winter and the glass was broken about 1/2" up from the bottom all the way around. The glass is now removed from the base but I still can't seem to get this part of it apart. Somewhere I thought I had seen a video or someone talking about the same issue with the glass and they were able to have some glass shop cut it down. If that is possible it might work for someone on another pump that will take a shorter cylinder. I will just use a repro cylinder I guess. I am hoping someone might have a good picture of the handle that is on the front of a Tokhiem 600 as mine is missing or know of someone who might have one.The bar with the gears that is supposed to slide up and down is froze up and I am not sure how to get these parts so they will operate. Any info will help. Thanks JerryH.
