✅ SOLVED What the heck is this!

ANTIQUARIAN · Nov 4, 2013

I detected the woods to the west of the site where the archeologists were digging and found this piece . . . I have no idea what it is!? :icon_scratch:

It's heavy and probably weights 1 - 2lbs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! :thumbsup:

It is an old fuel pump

It's a fuel pump, not sure what it's off of.

I was going to say that is was a fuel pump too.

It is a fuel pump for a Fordson tractor, 1952 to 1961 models.

Has anyone mentioned that it's a fuel pump?

Yup, must be a fuel pump that quit working. :dontknow:

What are the archies looking for, the rest of the tractor?

I know this sounds strange, but I think it might be an old fuel pump.

So I guess the general consensus is, and I agree, that it is an old fuel pump. I've changed many of them. They bolt right to the side of the engine block.

Let me make absolutely sure I understand . . . you all think this is a fuel pump for a Fordson tractor, 1952 - 1961 models? :tongue3:

Just had to make sure! :laughing7:

Thanks for your help guys! :thumbsup:

Two years ago they dug an area of 50' x 50' inside an old horse paddock, I have no idea what they were looking for or what they found.

Here's a link to what I found around the periphery of the archeological site.
