Great old machines. Every service station had one back in the day. i am blessed to own 2 of them. You're missing the stopper that goes in the back of the chuck to set the valve's depth in the chuck. makes life a lot easier. The valve length tool is for setting lash on flatheads.
There's nothing in the pump end, other than the oil seal. The hollowed end of the spinning shaft acts as your centrifugal pump. Fluid goes in the center, and comes out the side. Chicago Rawhide still carries the proper seal.
@beckbuilt3209 CR6231 (skf) is the seal that I used to rebuild mine. I gave it a a good rubdown with atf and lithium grease to make sure it didn't go dry. Make sure to match what the old seal had for an installed depth. Before starting the motor, make sure to prime the pump by flipping one of the wheel lube pipes, facing up, and then fill it with your fluid until you're sure that it's wetted the pump. Fire it up dry, you'll cream the seal. I used atf in mine, but I'll go to the proper cutting fluid when I change it out. One other thing is to keep the machine covered when not in use to reduce the amount of contaminants (dust, dirt, grit, bugs) that lands on the oil catch trays under the grinding wheels... and tends to plug the hoses and pump.

Could you send me a picture of what it looks like by email?
That's friggin awesome! I'm gonna look for one like that now too!
Can you put the part number for the fluid pump?
I'd like to see how he set's up to grind the other stone @ that angle.
The valve face side?

Thank you sir
