I think all you're missing is the fulcrum that goes between the handle and the handle guide / rod guide.

Of all the pumps I have, I don't have one of those. I don't even think I've ran across that name of all the makers. Take a picture of the wording please. Would like to see it.

Where's the windmill?

What is on the inside of the pump that makes it work?
The windmill is disassembled and I bought it about 10 years years and never got around to putting it up so will be selling now.

I'll see if I have a picture of one. There are differences in them, but they do the same thing, they connect the handle with the pump top.

Looks like a 602 Aermotor. IF....If that's an Aermotor tower, it's an oldie. Those steps would be very early on, before 1900 I think. However, the head would not be matched to the tower. That's if it's an original. Might take a closeup of the tower steps.

Try this. Here's one circled. A lot of times, they are located on the other side.

I wonder were it was that those blade sections layed around. I've never seen Aermotor sections so rusty. They usually stand the test of time. My 602 made supposedly in 1922 the blade sections are good. THe vane has a little rusty look to it but the sections don't. . Windy the old Aermotor tower I found has round peg steps. Those look kinda like Elgin steps I think.

Wayne, Aermotor is usually known for the good galvanizing they did. It is rare to see so much rust, you are correct. however, a plus is that they are nice and straight, no bullet holes.

I think Aermotor did have peg steps for a short time, then sheared angle for steps also for a short time. I don't know which is older, or for how long they were used.

When we were discussing the tower I had found with the pegs he did say they went to loops in 1897. Maybe pegs were first then a new improved angle step and finally loops.
