What a great story. That pump has had quite a history with Cities Service, Standard and Farmers Union Co-Op lineage. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on a neat find!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I had to share. It was a great experience with great people!
I have to agree with Darin on stuff being out there. I have gotten three pumps this summer that if you did not go into the yard you would have never known they were there. Good luck hunting everyone!
