PS I don't have movies from the old days, but have several hundred still photos of the Rangely Field back then posted on "Picasaweb" -- search of "Historic Rangely OIl Field" to see them if you wish.

Hello derekdz, thanks for the info, apparently I am kind of in the dark about current manufacturers and practices (been out of Rangely for years now, although my interest remains current). In the old days, deep wells had Lufkin, Bethlehem, National, Continental EMSCO and OILWELL conventional pumps, from the 40's-50's (except for two sizes of Lufkin airbalances, from the early 1960's). Visited South Belridge last summer and saw lots of Americans ... I thought Lufkin owned the "American" name?

how do they work off of a car or truck engine?

I was thinking the same thing!

That is a slow one!

This Lufkin design dates around the late 1940's. In the 500-well Rangley field in Colorado, I only knew of one well with a skeleton-head pump like this, and asked some questions. We schoolkids called it "Holey-Head;" it was pulled out about 1972 when the well went submersible and that was that. I've noticed modern oil pumps sometimes sport streamlined versions of the "skeleton head" holes, but it just isn't the same. Thanks for another like at this grand old "classic" pumper!

Not many Lufkins were made with this style head. It's really a TC model gearbox before the API standards were used. The only modern designs that I can think of with the "holey" heads are the American style which is now made by Weatherford as their Maximizer line.

We added additional counter weights to this unit since the video was taken.
