I had a 36 Harley with the hand oil pump.About 35 years ago I traded my 47 Ford coupe to the local blacksmith/welder/repairman/junk collector for this old Harley, which he actually did buy out of a farmers barn near Rugby ND, where it sat unused for many years. This was the old flathead 80 CI model, painted black without a single bit of chrome or nickle plate. I got it running and used it for a year or so, and finally traded it for a 48 knuckle head Harley 74. The 36 had an oil tank built into the gas tank with a hand pump sticking out of the top of the oil tank. The way the thing worked is that the hand pump would fill the engine until oil would overflow from the breather onto the primary chain then to the secondary chain for kind of an automatic oil change and chain oiler.If I remember right the hand pump was only for the initial fill and maybe one shot when you first started it.There was another smaller pump attached to the throttle which would add another spurt of oil every time you worked the throttle.
