I found this interesting Tire Pump at a farmers garage sale recently. I picked it up because it had a interesting look but I haven't been able to find out any info. about it, outside of the Gorman Rupp Co. history you can find online. There are two labels on this brass pump. the first Says "Gorman Rupp Co. Tire Filling Pump, no. 105, serial No. T-836.

The second label is on the generator, "The Lamb Electric Co." I.S. 14290. My translation of this label might be a little iffy, as its very difficult to read. I was just wondering if anyone could point to the age of this unit, or any other information about it. I would appreciate it. I do know it was originally used to pump fluids into tractor tires but that is literally, all I've been able to find out.

I used to work on pumps, remember Gorman Rupp pumps from somewhere. I worked on a small pump one time that had been used to pump a hydrochloric acid solution, it had set for some time without being flushed. When we tried to use it leaked pretty bad so I tore it all apart, the seal area was full of crystal like material. I cleaned it up and lubricated the O-rings and it worked fine. I would think the same thing could happen to a pump used for tire fluid.
