Couple weeks ago I said ‘Oil Pump Museum’ in a conversation. Google sent me this.

Is that an air compressor working off the electric motor.

@CDwaneStevens 3 ай бұрын

It's actually a vacuum pump to assist in the recovery of oil and gas from the oil wells.

I'd seen setups similar to these when I worked on seismic crews in OK in the 1970's. A little amazed (and gratified) to see that some are still pumping away.

My dad used to have nine powers in Southern Illinois. The wells were about 1000 feet deep. I was in charge of four of the power houses when I was about 21. One was a 30hp superior that ran a vacuum pump that pulled gas from about four leases that ran the three other powers. I had two leases with 25 horse superiors and one lease with a 20hp superior. As the lease gas gave out we busted up the old superior engines to sell the cast-iron. I would give anything to have one of those old engines again. The only problem we had with them was the magneto had to be repaired occasionally and in the winter time the gas line would freeze off. Then I would have to walk the line and thaw it wherever necessary. That was back when the oil business was crude.

If we were to put a mechanical pumping system like this in today, I'm sure it would all come from China and be shot in about two weeks.

@alittleofthisandthat8003 11 ай бұрын

If you want to see one of these machines in full operation then go to the Old Engine Show held in August in Buckley, Michigan. Buckley is about an hour south of Traverse City, Michigan. They have a setup in full operation as well as hundreds of other old farm and industrial engines, steam engines, and two operating steam railways. Look it up on the internet.

gotta ask why it wouldn't just be enclosed. Gears this size are exspensive to replace if they wear out. cool that it was still running at the time this video was taken.

@CDwaneStevens Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure why they didn't enclose them, maybe to cut costs? I have videos of others that were out in the open like this one and you gotta remember that these units have been running since the 1930's. Tough units for sure.

I can see how no one takes care of the oil goo under the gears that has run over onto the ground. Not COOL.Where are the tank or tanks to hold the crude oil from the ground ???

The tank battery is located near by. I just didn't get a shot of it. I actually cut the video short. My ISP is slow on the upload.
