Recently we removed an old stationary well pump from my mother home 1900 era.
It is a Fairbanks Morse model 41 connected to a swallow well. It hasn't been used for years, but was our water supply some 60 years ago.
It has casted on it "A 250 Fairbanks Morse model 41 ". the 250 is a stamped number made on a flat plate in the sentence.
this is a motor driven pump that has the motor mounted above it and the horizontal pump below connected with a v-belt.
It seems to have a flat or loose spot on the connecting rod in the transmission that is loose between the push to the pull transition of it's motion.
Before I take it apart, I would like to find any information that might be available or anyone with experience.
Is't a neat little pump!, I don't want to mess it up!
it has the original motor and much of the green paint is still on the pump housing.
any help would be greatly apreciated.
thanks in advance
Rex
