    There are a couple old threads on here that discuss those old units. A few minutes of searching might also lead to some answers. For example-

    Very kind of you BAP, looking forward to seeing responses. I certainly have had my share of not knowing what to say and have read sooooooo many forum posts over the years from various forums and not replied with anything. These forums are an incredible way to learn, to make connections, and share!

    I'll take a look at the link "mudr", appreciate the comment. Edit.... Just looked at the thread, good info. I have read that one and looking at it noticed how much BreezyHill responded. I hope he's doing okay with recovery.

    I believe it is a piston pump, not a rotary vein so be careful with it.

    I thought i had read that too. With RV standing for Reversible Vacuum, meaning that switch can be flipped and you can use it as an air compressor. Though all those early surge/Babson bros units were piston.

    Breezy and I usually pm each other throughout the year quite often. Im just noticing i have not heard from him in 4 months. I will send him a message on his business email to see how hes doing. He will def. be able to help you with this. Hes like MR Wizard with the old farm units. Jeff

    Now that's fun, Mr Wizard with old farm units! I'm still impressed with all the people involved in tapping their trees for maple syrup! And to think that I have a pump that works for that?!?!?! Living in the west does not provide quite the same opportunities for tapping a tree. Although I do have a neighbor originally from the east coast and he did manage to tap our local Big Leaf Maple and get something to boil down. I tasted it and it was good.
    Again, I hope that Breezy is doing okay. Glad you have a closer connection to him and can see how things are going.

    Just thought I'd ask if anyone has Breezy's email and can email him directly again. I did get a message from him and he did answer a few questions. I emailed him and maybe his spam filter stopped it from coming through. Hopefully he checks back to this forum and sees his private message and then goes to his email. Any help would be appreciated!
