Hi new here, found this forum when I was trying to find out what my pump that is behind my garage is. Just wanted to know what kind and value so maybe I could sell it, but after looking through some of everyones pictures and stories, there's a little voice in my head saying it wouldn't take much to fix it up and where would I put it! is this how it all starts!!LOL
well back on the subject, can anyone help me identify my pump? it still has the computer and pump in it.
Thanks

Its a Wayne 100 and a very attractive pump when all fixed up! There are all kinds of reproduction partss available for it and its pretty easy to do the work on. A very nice pump to start your first restoration. Being a shorter type pump, its easy to display and works well in many garage settings and even in the home if you can get it past your warden! LOL
As far as value, if its complete and without a lot of damage to the cabinet, I'd say from $300 to $400.
Be careful tho as they have a way of multiplying that none of us can quite understand? One day you've got a single pump and a few weeks later, theres several more? Hmmm??
Welcome to Old Gas--Theres a wealth of information within the membership and please learn how to upload pictures because we all like pictures and you'll want to document your progress on that pump! Good Luck!---KEVIN

At first glance thought it was a Wayne 70 but according to Jack Sim Gas Pumps guide it is likely a Wayne 577-R since there are no ad glass panels. Might be missing a few parts so guessing a value between $400 to $500. You should try and keep the pump looks like a nice one!

Hello fellow hoosier! Welcome to oldgas...
Looks like a wayne to me? maybe wayne 70 or 100???
There should be a little tag on it that says model number?
How tall is the pump? The faceplates look smaller than opening??
Looks pretty solid! Shouldn't take much to restore...

Wow! Thanks, didn't expect a response that quick!
I'ts about 60" tall the acess? door is missing and I couldn't find a tag on it any where else, it is missing one of the face glasses and bezel thats why the face plates look small in the one pic, and it needs new hinges,I just put the door that had been against the garage on the front(the one with the unfaded paint and glass) to show what it looked like. The place for the globe is blocked off with a plate(that can come later)
Oh my gosh! already starting to sound like I'm gonna keep it!

Thanks
Oh and by the way I'm the warden LOL and it's the budget that keeps getting in the way!!

Take your time with the restoration and the parts you need can get spread out over time and you won't even notice the cost. If you're able to do the work yourself, the out of pocket expenses, really won't be that bad!

Welcome aboard warden. Is there a Mr warden? Haha
Don't be afraid to display as is too. On my pump I have the worst side against the shop. Get the lights to work and it makes a nice night light.

The pump shown is a Wayne 577-R. This was originally a non-computing pump used on farms, truck stops, taxi garages or any place where it was not necessary to compute the cost of the gasoline pumped, only the amount. I can't tell from the picture, but the computer may have been changed to a computing meter.

I also have a question, you state the pump is about 5' tall, the 577-R was around 72" tall, does the pump show signs of having been shortened?

For more information about your pump see:

I with Jack, it looks like a Wayne 70 that has been cut down. A Wayne 100A and 100B has the sight glass in the face to one side. A Wayne 100 (with no A or B) is a completely differant pump.

Thanks again everybody
Jack I measured it again to be sure and it's only about 60" I dont know what I'm looking for so yeah it has probably been shortened it is on an old farm so makes sense its a farm model.

Well at any rate did get it loose from the tank today( yes it was still attached, thats what started this all, want to get the tank out)now I've got to figure out how to get it out of where it's at and where to put it till I decide what to do with it!
