I remember those days, wow my feet were tired shifting the cycle rods, I found one up here parked in the trees also and that guy said it would still pump and said I could have it, I ought to re-build it and train green horns on it.

Looks like home to me! This pump doesn't have reed switches though, it has poppet valves!

There's one I seen in middle of nowhere Texas. I know the owner. He was just using it to carry his tools. Now it's growing weeds.

If you have ever run one of these pumps or other vintage pumps hats off to you . Retirement is your next step unless your looking for a desk job like me.
