Dempster #12 has a few things in common between the 6 and 8 foot. Here they are.... Turntable upper and lower parts. 5/8 balls. Neckpipe. Pullout tube. Brake. (newer style). Pump rod. Tower top. Storm stay. Pullout swivel. Brake hubs are same, except larger hole for 1 1/8 shaft for 8 foot, instead of 15/16 shaft for 6 footers.

This does not include #12-A models. That's a whole different animal.
