Old Lincoln grease pump needs help

[poppinjohnnies]

Does anyone know anything about these? I got a couple pf these at an auction a while back. One seems to work and the other one doesn’t. I wondered if anyone knew of a good parts source for them. I planned to keep one and fix up the other one and give it to my dad for Christmas.

C'mon, surely someone has info on these things.

Looks like an old undercoating pump to me. Just needs some amber and a heater and you’ve got a money maker... if you’re in the rust belt anyways lol.

As for parts I’m no help. We can’t find the correct nozzles for our old pump. Going to have to get one made I think. We have an old ARO.

Those drum pumps can be very dangerous,i had a malfunction with one that injected my hand with grease,i have had 6 surgery's so far on my finger.
I could have lost my hand.
I would throw those old pumps in the scrap heap.
BTW,i have owned my grease pump for 25 years,and i bought it new.
All you need it one screwup and your in big trouble.

Lol what did you do man ? Sometimes I still use ours to fill up single cans of undercoat. Maybe something I can do to avoid injecting my hand with grease ?

Have you tried contacting Lincoln?

The problem is almost all the places that repaired equipment like this were the same places that rebuilt power tools,air and electric jacks and shop equipment like this. Most of those places are gone along time ago as we now are a throw away society that sells imported scrap not built for a lifetime rebuild able tools in many cases. You need to find a list of service centers and try to find one that has survived the last forty years plus and maybe they have a nos parts. First thing is find a parts list and go from there.
