I've got one of those, though most of the adapters are missing and no fancy box. I have an old (1952) loader with a Chrysler industrial six. I use this out on the property to air up tires and things when I'm too lazy to fill the air tank and carry it. It really works great I just wish mine was as nice as yours. Voted last week, Oregon has mail-in ballots makes it so easy. I hope everyone gets out to vote while you still can. Great video and history!
Hello George! That is great that you not only have one but use it!!!! I love older engines that are simple and fixable! There was a tremendous early mail in turn-out this year! Thanks!!!!!!!
I love seeing stuff like this. That is a neat package and love the vintage boxes, graphics, and text. Pretty ingenious too. Thanks so much for sharing!
A very interesting idea! I would have thought that taking out a spark plug would make the engine run badly. Cars back then had much more accessible plugs than today. When I was a teen, my friend got his old man neighbors car, which was a 1964 Chevy that was a straight 6, and the car was huge. I remember him standing on the ground while next to the engine, inside the engine compartment! There was that much room next to the engine.
Hi Joe! Yes! Remember that!? Those were the good old days! I had a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain with a straight 8! Eight in a row can go!!!! LOL Thanks Joe!!!!!!
What an amazing idea for the times. Now it’d take you an hour to just access a plug in a newer car, but the cars I grew up with, the late 50s through early 70s cars were set up perfect for this tool. You could pull a plug in 30 seconds, air up your tire and be on you way in a couple minutes. Those were the days... Thank you so much for introducing me to this cool tool Scout! Now all you Americans - get out there and vote today!
Hello John! I love simplicity in everything! If my car dies today I wouldn't know where to start looking without a reader... Years ago I could check spark, fuel, points... It was nice to feel that you could not feel so helpless! Thanks!!!!!!!
That is a very interesting tool and history. I always wondered who invented the tire vale and you answered that question. The air pump connecting to your engine is really a neat idea. Far ahead of it's time. Thanks for sharing this ScoutCrafter, it was great!
Hello John! The Schrader valve is basically unchanged and amazing to me! So many things are super modern but others are still old technology! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Now that is a great find! I have seen some models that are much newer for off road use in Jeeps. This one is an original and all there in great shape. I wish we had more places around here to find stuff like that! You are one lucky dog to get this.
What!? You didn't make a thread adapter and demo it on your vehicle? Haha! I bet your basement is full of a lot of really cool stuff. Something we appreciate about you is that you are talented not only at restoration and all those various skills and strategies to bring old things back to life, but you are so good at explaining. Explaining what you are doing in the shop. Explaining the history of a tool and why it was important. We all truly benefit! I wish I could beam to the Long Island Tool Collector's club like on Star Trek - I bet there are a lot of interesting conversations and nifty tools. 👍🏼
Back in the day, on the farm, this was a go to tool. Compressors were expensive and this did the trick. In 1955 I saw my grandpa repair and fill the rear tire on a Ford 9N tractor. 👍
That is an extremely cool gadget. I'm not entirely sure why but those valves have always been interesting. I've become accustomed to always having a tire inflator in the car as I used to have to plug flats amazingly regularly. I can completely see the value of having one of those, especially with how little space it takes up.
Hello Allan! When I bought my Truck ten years ago I also bought a heavy duty 12v Compressor. It was a great investment and I have used it many times! You have to be prepared! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
I have 3 different ones myself. I need to dig them up and test them to see if they work, fortunately it's been many moons since I had a legitimate flat. I really can't afford to find out the hard way the one in the truck gave up on life.
You know what's cool? That's a mechanical version of the same concept used on the exhausters (most people call them bellows) in a reed organ (pump organ)! Neat little valve concept. In the organ, leather is used as a diaphragm. GREAT gadget, that air pump!
That is the best one I have seen. There was one sold under the name Stop and Go. Some were sold for atv and motorcycle use. Probably the best engine was a flathead in line. Back in the day when tires went flat a lot they would be nicer than a hand pump.
Hello 57W! I had a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain with a straight 8. That would have been perfect for this pump! =) Hand pumps were always such a workout! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
I'd forgot all about them my dad got one in the late 60s and connected it to a 5gallon drum with a hose of it to a simple jam jar with a ladies perfume spray nozzle with a split in it to give a kind of fan and he sprayed many a car with it had it years even sprayed my first car which was a mini traveler with wood sides bright red looked great . Thanks scout happy days
You do come across some interesting finds!. Hope elections day passes off smoothly for you guys, it has filled the news here so it must be frenetic where you are. Take care.
Hello Tony! Sometimes I look back at history and realize as crazy as things seem now, they were always that way... History is one of the best teachers... I only wish more people would pay attention! =) Thank so much!!!!!!!
I would love to see that in action! I bet it would really be useful for old farm equipment too, especially if you are out in the middle of the field. Awesome stuff as usual.
Haha, I remember when you bought that!! I was standing right next to you. The graphics are so cool. It amazes me how many great inventions came out of New York State!! Great show and tell ScoutCrafter👍👍
Hello Steve! LOL Yet another item I will never use! =D I can't help myself! You know that by now! I am looking forward to the next show! More junk!!!!! =D Thanks!!!!!
Oh Gosh,I remember those..and they did work as you say..yes and the plug adaptors,Ford down here used the bigger plugs,GMH the small 5/8s ones..They were really easy to use on the old side valve motors,where the spark plug was right up there on top of the head...but a headache on a VW Beetle...Yours is In nice condition..
The ad was very nice! This and the dog bone wrench for different size plug sizes out to be able to run someone right square-dab into a looney bin BUT this pump ought to work fine. Thanks, Scout and happy lying politician day.
@@jusb1066 It usually does till they get in office and then the 'Well, I and well, uh's' start and then back-peddling shortly thereafter. In a short time they do exactly they say they won't. Or it might tale a little longer in some cases BUT there is always someone more powerful that 'just happens' to turn everything around. Interesting, isn't it.
@@ScoutCrafter I do too sometimes. I really like the old BIG slow diesels and water wheels and stuff like that but I'm also very thankful I didn't have to fire boilers every wee hours in the morning too. Pony motor starters were close enough for me! C U, Scout!
I had one of those when I bought my (A40 Devon 1952) 1972. It Was well used all over the North Island, Desert Road, Mangaweka Curvy Old Road, Used it for one Guy Put it in my boot and while I was getting my car started ETC he opened the boot and stool it. I took graet delight in seeing him stranded on the desert Road, Out of Prteol.
Indeed very interesting. I too, have never seen a gadget such as that. Thank you for sharing and as you always do, the background of each tool you present. Again, thank you.
Hi....Sweet Sweet Sweet...That is a Great find, I have several of there commercial tire filler nozzles, but this is Great! Thanks for sharein it...great Video..God Bless America!
i have not seen that exact one,but i remember seeing something as a kid in J.C.Whitney perhaps. i just picked up 10 hot rod and motor trend magazines from the 50,s and early 60,s and the stuff you could buy was amazing.
Good old JC Whitney! That was such a great company if you were into cars and didn't have a lot of money! =) I always enjoyed looking thru that catalog! Thanks !!!!!!!
Hello Andrew! Wow! They are close! I live in Queens! Yes, years ago lots of great tools and goods were made in Brooklyn! Now not too much! =) Thanks very much!!!!!!!
I have a similar item from the Super Manufacturing Corp. called called the Super-Air Spark Plug Type Inflating pump. It has a rubber hose with a 100 psi gauge and a screw on connectors on each end. It came in a plastic pouch. Seems to be a bit cheeper (or earlier version) of this pump. Unfortunately, it is missing the plug adapters. My dad had bought this over 50 years ago. He worked at the Post Office as a supervisor and was having problems with an employee who was a total slacker. He accumulated all the data he needed (which was necessary to get anyone actually fired permanently at the post office - Union issues). Is seems this guy and his friends were harassing him in various ways to get him to back off. One was to let the air out of his tires while he was at work. Never one to back down when he was right, he bought this to refill his tires in order to get home. Unfortunately, he had to use it quite often for about 6 months before things settled down. It worked quite well at that time in the mid 60's.
Hi Scout crafter this is very interesting I could see someone in remote place if they had a patch kit fix their own tire on the side of the road. Also the guy who invented those valves was a genius I may be mistaken those valves are the same valves they have always used in every tire that holds air and still use the exact same ones now.
Hello Christina! I bet a built in compressor would be a nice option for a new vehicle! The ability to fill all kinds of stuff! Great idea! Thanks very much!!!!!
Scout, My mother owns a sewing and vacuum store in which Ive worked at on n off part n full time for the last 13 years and one of my task's are repairing and selling vacuums... Well they suck but ive had some repairs and traded in Kirbys that have come with grinder wheels and dremel style tools that were attachments... I'll have to go through the back room and see what I kept and what ive gotten rid of but ill keep you updated on what I have and maybe we can do something with what I have and if its anything good. I sorta remember something like this ive come across and also attachments involving cars and the vacuum.
Hello Doug! Oh those old Kirbys! They were magnificent! You could Vacuum, fill your tires, paint your car! LOL The accessories were amazing! The reddish bakelite parts and polished aluminum housing was just beautiful! My Dad used to fix vacuums when I was a kid... We always had a bunch in the basement ready to go. Good times! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
I remember seeing a kit that turned a VW aircooled moter into a heavy duty air compressor by useing 2 cylinders as the air compressor and running on the other two cylinders rated at 50 CFM that is trailor mounter Ingersoll Rand Capacity
Hello Walt! Wow! That must have been something to see! The problem with most compressors are the noise! They can be really loud! A nice two stage or screw drive compressor is much quieter! =) Thanks!!!!
In the picture the vehicle appears to be a Chevy pickup, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side ? I also have one of those tools less the adapters. Mine is a sealed unit, but has a spider web on the inside of the gauge ? the part that screws into the spark plug hole is die cast zinc. Very easy to break. I enjoy your videos and being retired, I sometimes watch them for hours.
How did you remove the rust? I have several tool boxes that have small rust spots here and there and I want to keep the original paint. What you did here in this video looks like exactly what I want to do.
Hi Mark! For this I just went over the rust with some steel wool until the rust was gone then used polishing compound and then wax. A Dremel tool would work well too! Thanks!!!!!
Oww election day in America I forgot this...and It seems like a very quality hose..I like this kind of fabric hoses and old fabric cables...remember old irons cables at 60s... :D
Wow!!!!! Making a 1929 Ford a daily driver is amazing!!!!!!! I saw a video on TH-cam where a guy drove a model A for a year as his daily driver! Made a blog and all! Outstanding!!!!!!! Love that stuff!!!!!!!!
I bought one of these at a yard sale years ago. I don’t think it’s ever been used or even out of its bag. I have never used it but have always wondered how well it works.
My dad had a knock off like that. the hose look the same but it was actually just an adapter for the spark plug hole straight into your tire for emergency use only is what it said I don't think we ever used it but we had it
I could see why you couldn't pass that one up! Awesome find! I love your knowledge of the tools you show us, patents, drawings and such. I love it.
I've got one of those, though most of the adapters are missing and no fancy box. I have an old (1952) loader with a Chrysler industrial six. I use this out on the property to air up tires and things when I'm too lazy to fill the air tank and carry it. It really works great I just wish mine was as nice as yours.

Two days in a row, what a treath. And a very intresting device. I learned something new today.
Hello Alex! Another one tomorrow! I am so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks so much!!!!!
Regardless of how well it works or doesn't work that's an ingenious concept!
Never saw anything like that!!! You can’t even find the plugs in todays engines. Very interesting. Thanks

Hello Michael! Yes! Unused! Metal boxes were great at keeping things in good shape! Thanks so much!!!!!
My father had one and it worked like a charm. I love the pointer.

Super cool tool but I really like that dowel pointer with the hand! That's nifty too. Bayside Queens here!
Another old school tool that was designed well and worked better than a lot of the new gadget stuff they sell now on TV
I love weird inventions like this! =) KISS rule in effect! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
Wow.The old timers certainly knew how to make great gadgets.
I have one of these! But it's missing the case and the adapters.. but the braided line looks the same!!! My grandpa gave it to me. So cool!!!

@@ScoutCrafter wouldn't this be the same how you check engine pressure test? take fuse/relay from fuel pump if anything

Mine is a sealed unit, but has a spider web on the inside of the gauge ? the part that screws into the spark plug hole is die cast zinc. Very easy to break. I enjoy your videos and being retired, I sometimes watch them for hours.
Cool tool, excellent condition too
Hello Dale! Yes! I paid $15 for it... I just had to have it! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter That seems like a good price for a tool in such good condition, nice score
How did you remove the rust? I have several tool boxes that have small rust spots here and there and I want to keep the original paint. What you did here in this video looks like exactly what I want to do.
Hi Mark! For this I just went over the rust with some steel wool until the rust was gone then used polishing compound and then wax. A Dremel tool would work well too! Thanks!!!!!
Scout,
Another gem of a video, and a great find to boot. Like always, you really know how to Make Tools Great Again. Lol!
Enjoy Election Day.

A new tool for me to find. Going under the seat in my 1929 ford pickup my soon to be daily driver
Wow!!!!! Making a 1929 Ford a daily driver is amazing!!!!!!! I saw a video on TH-cam where a guy drove a model A for a year as his daily driver! Made a blog and all! Outstanding!!!!!!! Love that stuff!!!!!!!!
WOW!! That thing is sweet! Wheels are turning!!! Ideas to make one for my ATVs from a compression tester!!!
Happy Election Day!
Hello Buck! Thanks so much!!!!!!!! =D
I bought one of these at a yard sale years ago. I don’t think it’s ever been used or even out of its bag. I have never used it but have always wondered how well it works.
Hello Josh! People that have used them said they worked well! I would worry about fuel injection though! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Great Video and very cool tool.
Hello David! This one was made for when you could see all your plugs when you opened the hood! Now days you can't see anything! LOL Thanks!!!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter Yes that's true
Wow... That's nice.. that's am the one in my eyes thanks for the video
Easy access with the flat head engines also!
Hello Wayne! Yes! I had a couple flat head engines! They were great!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
There was a conversion kit that would turn old 4 cylinder V W engines into an air compressor using 2 of the 4 cylinders.
Wow! Would have loved to see that work!
Cool product , I never knew about it .
Hello Dave! I love old unusual stuff like that! Thanks very much!!!!!
What a smart inventor
Hello Stephen! Those old timers were genius!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!
A preppers essential.
Hello Pete! Yes! I have to say I'm a bit of a prepper! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!
My dad had a knock off like that. the hose look the same but it was actually just an adapter for the spark plug hole straight into your tire for emergency use only is what it said I don't think we ever used it but we had it
Hello Kenny! There were a few manufacturers of these air pumps... Some were different but the same principal. Thanks so much!!!!!
How much does it cost...
I think it was $20- We can't use these anymore because it would take longer to get to the spark plugs then call a tow truck! LOL
@@ScoutCrafter 😂
