Disassembly of an 1913 antique F E Myers water pump part 1

A (minimal) restoration to operational status of a circa 1913 F. E. Myers water pump. I wanted to keep the original finish and condition of the pump but bring it back to an operational state.

That was a great save it sure didn't deserve going to the dump 👍👍🇺🇸

My family lived in Ashland Ohio in the early 1800s. I am related to the Myers brothers

How cool is that! I read everything I could on the Myer's brothers. What an American success story. They built their empire from that glass check valve. Thanks for the input. Have a great holiday....

I just picked up the same pump. Did you have any luck finding information about it.?

[@paulzumpf7934]

I have a question on the check valves. What did you use to make new rubbers?

[@kurtismackes4673]

Hey fred have you ever found any info out on this? I have the same pump but mine needs alot of work.

[@FredMiller]

No more than I put into the video with the exception that there may be the possibility of a second pumping action on it. I sold the pump a few years ago to a fella that was going to attach it to a hit and miss engine.. Good luck with your research. Drop a note here if you find more info on it. Fred
