Pump Jack that was under a 20' Open Gear Samson.

Any ideas of the history of this jack. Only writing on it is the pit-man arm saying "Bill the Pump Mans Jack"

OMG Jake ! You sure run across some huge items.

[Overkill]

Yes they are attracted to me!

They were used on very deep high capacity well's. Would have had a gas engine with a flat belt to power it. When the wind wasn't blowing start her up and let the water flow. There's one at the Temple Texas grounds where they have a tractor and engine show every Oct.

oh cool is it the same brand?

[Smax]

Wow that's impressive

[windybob]

That's one of those machines, that, if you take a nut off a bolt, and drop it on your foot, and it breaks your foot, it's too big for me.

I wake up and put my steel toe boots on and I don’t take them off till I’m ready for shower/bed. I’m alway in my steel toes. so I’m protected from that

I'm not sure about the brand has been several years since I saw it. In The book Blades in the Sky: Windmilling Through the eyes of B.H. "Tex " Burdock has a picture of one under a mill in Eastern New Mexico. For some reason I can't find my book or I'd scan the picture. I believe it was driven by a cylinder engine. I had visions of buying one once but couldn't figure out how to get it home. I love mechanical beast also.

I think these are the pictures from Blades in the sky
