Progress on my Stuart Oil Field Pump. I did make some changes to the gear reducer and the beam.

I don’t keep track of time and work on multiple projects simultaneously. This model is not a difficult build. I made changes to the gearbox to put the pulley on the outside where it can be  easily belted to an engine.

I replaced the heavy cast iron counterweights with light aluminum ones. The counterweights do nothing on the model and are heavy to lift to top dead center.
