Truth be told I had other plans for this shot where I would be standing on this piece of machinery so it would be completely in frame. However, in the process of climbing up, my spidey sense tingled signaling a high likelihood of personal injury and the need for tetanus shots. So, here is a close up of a Pacific Gearworks pump jack, used in the exploitation of oil and petroleum in the Praries approximately 60 years ago. My third installment of SP's featuring technology pieces.
I've included a full picture of the pump below.
Old water pump 2
This old pump didn't have a plastic impeller like I thought most BMW's of this age had as standard, but it still didn't look in great shape. It came out of the block relatively easily by using two of the 10mm M6 thermostat bolts as jacking bolts in the two spare holes - slow and steady wins the race here though!
