I'm taking apart my first restoration project - a short 39. What is the purpose of this weight/pulley assembly on the nozzle side of the pump? Is this anything I need to keep, or can it be tossed with the other
unneeded guts?

That is the retractor assembly. There is a cable that attaches to the hose and pulls the hose back to the pump. The weight slides up and a track which pulls the hose back. I would keep that assembly and make it functional.

Then on the other hand , if your doing the pump for yourself as a display? theres no need in keeping it. as I've alwayed said its your pump do what you want.  ------------------ www.vintage-logos.com

MY FIRST PUMP RESTO, ALSO A TOK39 SHORT HAD THE SAME ASSEMBLY. I FIGURED, SINCE THE PUMP WOULD NOT BE FUNCTIONAL, NOR THE HOSE BE USED. THAT IT WAS JUST DEAD WEIGHT THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO HAVE INSIDE. I STILL HAVE THE WEIGHT AND THE SHAFT ....JUST IN CASE!

keep it! We through away the pump and keep the rest. Toss the pump because it stinks and is heavy.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I can supply you with a new cable, fittings for the ends, and a new clamp for the hose. Just let me know how long the cable should be.
