Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

Me Too Windy. What drives the pump jack?
Re: Adapted windmill
Looks like the fan drives it by a chain drive. Don't know where the fan was mounted though.

Re: Adapted windmill
Looks to me like those two pillow block bearings that support the main shaft bolt to the base plate between the gear box and the pump rod. Then a chain goes from sprocket to sprocket. The gearbox must convert rotary motion to reciprocating motion and the tail bone bolts to that 'C' shaped bracket.
