Home-Built MIniature Oil Well Pumper

Home-Built MIniature Oil Well Pumper FARM HOME Novelty Items 24-5-34 As a fun project, I recently built a miniature oil well pumper. So many people have stopped by to look that I thought your readers might be interested. I've always wished I had an oil well on my farm. Who wouldn't? After I retired, I decided the only way I was going to get one was to build it myself. All the parts I used came out of my scrap pile. It looks and works like the real thing and has been quite an attention-getter. It's powered by an electric motor that powers an offset crank.
