This post is sort of auto related. My latest project was refurbishing a 1937 Bennett 76 gas pump. It was taken out of service in the mid 60's and sat behind a barn for 20 yrs before I took it in. I painted it a couple times, but this time I tore it down. Everything inside is intact, but gears are frozen so I didn't try to make it function. I really don't remember seeing these as a kid as I didn't start driving until 1971, but an older friend of mine is a gas pump parts distributor and he remembers them well. I'll post some before and after pics.

That is soooo cool, Mike. Unless you use it for pumping, who cares about the gears? I mean, who would know any different?Member, Sons of the American Revolution

Thnx Dave. I know a guy who got his functioning and circulating water internally and made the bell ring and "computer" reset, etc. Maybe the next one. This was a yellow and green Sinclair Dino originally. Remember?Attached FilesComment
