I am restoring what I believe to be a Boyle-Dayton 79, I am looking for the following.
1. Gate Valve
2. Hose.
3. Nozzle (I believe it is a Williams Gas-O-Gun)
4. Pump handle for the back (what does it connect to?)
5. Mesh screen for the top

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Steve

1. Gate valve for this pump should be easy to find...it's the gate valve handle that's difficult...usually missing on these pumps.
2. Get a new white cloth hose...several of the parts suppliers on this site have them available...trying to find an original that would look decent on a restored pump would be an effort in futility.
3. I don't see the nozzle hanger on your pump that accommodated the gas-o-gun style nozzle, which leads me to believe that you should be looking for this nozzle...http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-GAS-NOZZLE-C-932-B-D-BRASS-GASOLINE-PUMP-NOZZLE-/390491599239?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aeb1cf187
4. Post a picture of the back side of the pump...is it possible you're missing the pump mechanism?
5. The mesh screens were add-ons by the service stations...usually they are not installed during a restoration, but should be fairly easy to find if you're set on having one (I throw all of mine away).

It also looks like you may be missing a stick or two of gallon indicators but can't tell from the picture. Also, something looks off about your top, but again can't tell from the pic. Good luck on the restoration.

Thanks
On response #2 - Thanks I will search this site.
On response #3 these skins are after market new, would the nozzle hanger be on the skins?
I know the trap door either holds the hose where it attaches to the nozzle or it holds the nozzle itself.
#4 - I might be missing some lower portions of the mechanical guts but without understanding where the handle connected I cant tell.

I will get some more photos today to post.
Thanks
Steve

Here is what I did on the nozzle cradle on these, may not be right but worked out ok. You may have to build a pump handle rest coming out of the pump. Skins if coming from Gas pump heaven are good and easy to work with. Look for shut off valve on ebay, as they are listed weekly in other sections besides gas and oil.
Good luck

Craig,
I'm not seeing what you did that may not be right?? Those are one of the correct nozzles and that's exactly how they were hung originally...only addition is some had the "o" nozzle hanger as well as pictured in Jack's book.

Wow - damn nice looking pumps! I found mine half buried in a field where it had been for some 30+ years according to the property owner

I did have some with the o ring at one time. One of these was a pump that was hit by a tractor, car, or something. Rust bucket also.

Craig - how much are you asking for your pumps?
