1905 Morris Machine Works 4" Dredging Pump Returned to Operation

A 2015 estate sale find, this circa 1905 Morris Machine Works 4" Sand & Gravel Dredging pump needed custom pipe flanges fabricated to connect to on hand standard 3-1/2" and 4" pipe fittings. The bearings only needed fresh grease and the shaft some additional packing. The restoration was remarkably easy and completely successful. This effort culminated in its public debut at the May 2024 Oklahoma Steam Threshers & Gas Engine Show at Pawnee, Oklahoma.
