Quite industrial looking. I'm really excited but for someone who doesn't know anything about pumps they might think it looks like a boiler or something.

Nice, I had one when I first started collecting, did not know better and cut all that stuff off. My, I learned quick.
Thanks, Phil

I assume the options without the bass was for all above ground installation or where they didn't have room to mount a base? Or what is the earlier version before the bases were put on just curious. Thanks guys.

Someone decided/assumed it was SAFER to have pump mounted above the bumper height on a concrete pedestal, instead of the typical 4-6" high island.

Dick was it a factory option to come that way or a retrofit?

Early pumps as pictured above only came that way, NO base like on later Mae West pumps.
I have a later version that has the Stamped Steel skins that I added a base to.

1st 2yrs there was no Raised base, then they did a Short base, approx 1920/21 they moved the pump mech. into the Raised base.
Ryan had to help load/unload the Cast Iron Beast his buddy bought at IG! Probably still seeing Stars & thinking how High the New Boat will FLY!

Heres mine but it has a 10 gallon cylinder and a cast iron base that it sits on! Main body of the pump is very heavy and not just stamped steel. Same with the bonnet and globe holder, they are also cast.

KILLER PUMP! WOULD YOU HAVE SEEN A FRY 17 W/TOTALIZER ATTACHED TO A CAST BASE IN THOSE DAYS AT ALL? OR WERE THEY ALWAYS ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO A ISLAND OR WHATEVER TYPE OF FOUNDATION? OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO MOUNT TO A CAST BASE? REASON I COMMENT ON THIS IS BECAUSE I'M SITTING HERE VISUALIZING THIS PUMP ATTACHED TO A CAST BASE & WHOA .....THAT WOULD BE NICE.ALL THE PLUMBING LOOKS THE SAME AS MY FRY 5 GALLON ,ON MY BASE AT THE BACK DOWN LOW IT ALLOWS FOR THE 1"1/4 PIPE & HAS A INDENTION,I'M THINKING IT WOULD WORK/?????? BUT I DOUBT I WILL NEVER FIND A TOTALIZER .... ANYWAYS GREAT PUMP & THANK YOU FOR SHARING !
