Thanks for the post. I bought the Aermotor pump. Have a picture of my Mama pumping water under a Aermotor windmill and the pump looks like an Aermotor 1940's or so. I have a 602 I'm going to put up on a wooden tower like the one in the picture I have and now I have a pump to go with it. The picture was taken on the farm were I was born in 1945 in Caddo Co.Ok. I have a later picture 1950 that shows the tower. Figure it probably had an old wooden mill on it at one time.

Wayne, glad you got it. Any idea what the pump was that had "Houston Texas" on it?

No I've never seen another like that. Maybe we have missed a windmill co in Houston. Since the Ad was on Craigs List and you hear all kinds of bad stuff happening I don't know if I will be going to his house to pick it up to look at the Houston pump. May meet in a Grocery parking lot.

Wayne,

I saw an Aermotor windmill pump on Facebook about 2 months back near Frost, TX which was in what I’d consider near perfect condition for an 80+ yr old hand/windmill pump. That fella had it posted for $150 and it looked like the one posted on Craig’s List, but this one was painted black. Had I known your interest, I’d posted it.

Edit - now that I think about it, that Facebook post pre-dates this forum by a few weeks or a month.
