Is this a Dayton 25-v?
If so it appears to be missing the doors(s);
gauge, hose and nozzle. Does anyone have a source for those parts? The owner is asking $2000,00 which seems a bit high?

Ron Scobie could probably help, www.gaspump.com. You could get a sheet metal fabricator to help with the skins if he dows not have them. If the cylinder is in good shape, the pump appears to be, it might be a bit high, just make an offer.

I don't think it is a 25, I believe it is a "High-way Visible."
Dayton came out with this pump around 1915, none of their literature lists a model number.
In 1920, they added the visible attachment to it and called it the "High-way Visible."
The reason I believe it s the HWV, is that there is no apparent meter/gauge (I don't think there was one as there are stops on that rod), and it has that almost flat plate half-way up the pump. You need to take a good look at the visible part, as I also believe they offered visible attachments that could be attached to the original 1915 pumps.
Most of us don't consider the hose as part of the value as most hoses are too far gone to be usable, but we do like to see a nozzle. I valued the pump at $2500 in my book, so if you can get the skins made and a nozzle for $500 you are still in the ballmark.
Take a look at the picture on the bottom of page 125.

Jack,
Thanks for the info.
Looking at the photo on P 125, it does look like that. I guess its the door (cover?) in the photo that distracted me. I assume that it (the cover/door) must slide up and down? looks kind of like an open ended barrel. I'm not really concerned with the hose, and probably a banana nozzel would work. Also appears to be missing the handle, but again not a big issue. My biggest concern is that its almost 600 miles away . Decisions/decisions!

Rod
