A great compliment - well done
much better than the wilesco instructions.
Now you have to search for oil in your garden...

Thanks folks
This kit takes awhile to build but , with a bit of work can be very fun , if you don't use a gear reduction with the pump jack , its just a waste of time and will be quite disappointing imho.

That's absolutely brilliant Bruce, a person could watch that pump rhythmically for hours.

A terrific mod.

This is the last video I shot in the highest HD I could , apparently pump jacks usually (but not always) , run counter clockwise, I suppose its to get the most out of the leverage of the rear facing down pull.
