Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Boyle-Dayton 89B

Thanks to Jack Sim, I discovered that my BD 89B was actually made by Wayne after they bought out BD. Jack said he was not familiar with this pump having been made by Wayne, so does that make it rare or more valuable? What's the 'B' for? Anyway, a couple of questions. I think the access door is upside down and in Jack's book it does not show an access hole for what looks like a pump handle (emergency?). The pump has new skin on it and I don't know who restored it, so it may be totally wrong. The dome, which is rusted in half, does not look like it had a globe. Is that true? I'm new to this, so any help, pictures, ideas, whatever, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Almost 100 views and no one knows anything about Boyle-Dayton 89 pumps?

Yes, the door is upside down. No, it never had a globe (very few Vizos ever did). There's supposed to be a hinged door w/ a lock over that lower cut-out. The little door was for a back-up pump handle. I've had a few and none have ever had the handle but I surmise it was basically a flat bar-stock-type handle based on the receiver. No, the pump is not more valuable because it's a Wayne vs. Boyle-Dayton. Also, you're missing the shutoff valve that should be between the center casting and the hose along with, most likely, the nozzle hanger/receiver that attached to the upper part of the skin to accept a pistol-type nozzle.

Sorry, I didn't see this post originally.

Ditto what petropumps said ! lots of BD's & BD/Wayne pumps around here. I could have several more if I wanted them ! lol

Thank you so much guys. So now that I know more, I have more questions. If there is supposed to be a hanger for the nozzle, what is the 'bracket' on the access door for that I have my nozzle in? Does anybody repop the nozzle bracket, shot off valve or the pump handle door, or do I need to find originals for these?
Thanks again

What Hummer said

No one that I know of makes the nozzle hanger piece. And no one makes the door. You would do well to find a picture of the door so you could see what it looked like...it had ornate hinges and a cam lock. Craig's picture shows the correct Boyle Dayton nozzles. They were secured using only the door. The later Wayne's often used a pistol style nozzle as pictured below. The end of the nozzle went through the hanger. I stole this picture from Jack Sim's value guide. You should really pick one up if you can.

Info above says it all from 2 of the best.....no one that I'm aware of makes the lower door but it could be fabricated, I did it on one of mine. As you can see you have a couple option on the nozzle & hangers. I don't have a close up but I mounted a generic Wayne hanger on this one & it looks/works fine ! Good luck, Z

Thank you all for the info and pictures. I noticed that all of you are located here on the west coast. Just wondering, were these primarily a western pump, or just coincidence?

Far and away primarily a west coast pump. Boyle Dayton was out of California

Just about every movie I have seen from the 1930s that includes a filling station, has Boyle-Dayton pumps, because the movies were filmed in Calif. regardless of where the location was supposed to be.
