Another 1938 Ford is on the bench

That is really neat Charlie, If I know you you'll make your own cylinder for the engine, but I bet the compressor from the Cummins 6 would work

You need to post these over at the house

What I'm hoping to do is to run the shaft of the flywheel back to a small gear or wheel. The large enclosed wheel that connects to the crankshaft of the pump would then be connected back to the small wheel with an endless belt of some sort. Turning the flywheel would then show the pump pistons moving. We'll see.

Well,it worked! After finally deciding on using a piece of sewing elastic for the connecting loop between the engine shaft and the crank of the pump, the whole thing works as hoped for. A couple of old watch gears help grab the elastic to hold it in place. The pump engine is now built up and the next thing will be to fit the various pieces of "tubing" for the gas line, oil line and spark plug wire. The other parts of the pump also need to be made that allow it to "work" at pumping water. The odd shaped piece of plastic is one of two sections of the shroud that will enclose the gears and elastic.

AND! It fits in the back of the truck but I have no idea how the crew will fill the gas tank.

And here is what it looks like with a bit more work and a paint job. There is still the discharge and intake portions of the pump to build and a couple more oil lines for the pump engine but it's getting there.

Amazing! Incredible work, Charlie!

That pump is beautiful!

Another simply amazing build.

Continuing work on the pump. The intake and discharge manifold are now installed along with the dampening chamber that smoothes out the water flow. An oil gage and discharge pressure gage have also been installed.

Here is the pump sitting in the back of the truck. On each side are compartments that will need some shelving to store oil, fittings and the hand crank for the pump.
