Me Too, the pump has a built in by-pass enabling you to use a nozzle on the end of the hose, so you don’t have to shut the pump down to stop the oil flow. Best part was the pump was a trash find, they did however break off the plastic fan on the end of the motor.

From that ugly piece of brass pipe it's now becoming a thing of beauty.

When the lathe quit it was to be found a faulty micro switch located on the combination stop switch foot brake.

My poor little 3/4 HP buffer had a tough time handling these large buffing wheels so I made an arbour to chuck into the lathe, now I can really lay into the piece I'm buffing with out stalling the motor.

A lot of things that I put up for auction will get a few minutes of buffing, especially the glass door knobs. Tripples the final value.
