Looking through some local auction listing and came across this. According to the auction flier it is an alamo. It doesn't look like some of the alamo's people have posted on here so i'm confused.
Looking for what kinda pump it is.
How many taps at what hg/cfm.
Estimated value.
Thanks

Looks more like a water pump not a vacuum pump. Just my thought.

Could be the other two pieces in the pic are water pumps. It's the only think on thre site that resembles a vac pump. Possibly they didn't post pics of it.

Not sure about the big blue thing on the left but the small one on the right looks like a gear pump and the one in the center looks like a well pump.
Just my guess from what I can see.

The blue on the left is a Gould water pump. It has a piston with leather cup washers on it. When you could buy one up to about 10 years ago they were around $400. I know these pump because I have one just like it in storage. They will lift water vertically 30 feet because they have a postive displacement. They were made in Senca Falls NY. They are very simple to work on and are used by many Amish folks. Can be run by either gas engine or elect motor but don't exceed the pulley dia that is on the elct motor to a gas engine. I also have a Myers pison pump, both are collectors items. I think I should aslo tell you that this is for pumping water as is the smaller blue one. Both unit would be found in a house pumping potable water. A vac pump LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Fred for the trip down memory lane. We had a Meyers pump at the lake house on a sand point. I remember every year priming the pump and waiting for the water to slosh all over the place when it finally got to the house. I still can hear that thing Plunka Plunk Plunka all day long and my old man getting pissed because we used to much water:mad: Like we could drain the lake:lol:

The one in the middle looks like a goulds well pump w/1/2hp motor. The other two are before my day.
