This was given to me the other day by a farmer who's family has had a farm account with our company since this pump was new and installed by my grand father.
could any one enlighten me as to how it would have looked new, the first product that was pumped through it was Texaco gasoline.

Buzzard, You don't need that ... that is a big pile of metal and will get in your way and you should throw it out! E-mail me and I will give you my address and I will pay shipping just to help you out! I know that this is one of my favorite visible made and you should do what ever you like because it doesn't have to be a Texaco. You can't mess it up unless you paint it pink. Have fun


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Jarvis,
Read Buzzard's message again. His Grandpa installed it and they are Texaco. You don't really think he'll part with it or brand it anything but Texaco, do you?
I'm thinking maybe it was originally red?

Paint it PINK, then Jarvis will leave you alone. Then you can put a DANCE Pink Golden Power Pack globe on top [balerania girl].

Great find! I would restore it in red and buy reproduction decals and a globe from one of the venders listed at this website. Good luck and hope you post a picture when your done. Rob

P.S. That is a pump that most would be proud of to own!
