I'd seen setups similar to these when I worked on seismic crews in OK in the 1970's. A little amazed (and gratified) to see that some are still pumping away.
gotta ask why it wouldn't just be enclosed. Gears this size are exspensive to replace if they wear out. cool that it was still running at the time this video was taken.
I'm not sure why they didn't enclose them, maybe to cut costs? I have videos of others that were out in the open like this one and you gotta remember that these units have been running since the 1930's. Tough units for sure.
I can see how no one takes care of the oil goo under the gears that has run over onto the ground. Not COOL.Where are the tank or tanks to hold the crude oil from the ground ???

It's awesome to see what great engineering was used in the past. What's really neat is seeing that it still exists and is functioning today!

So simple, but so effective! I love the engineering on these things. Thank you!
Thank You
Awesome relaxing content
Good stuff!

The tank battery is located near by. I just didn't get a shot of it. I actually cut the video short. My ISP is slow on the upload.
That's not oil from the wells, it's gear oil for lubrication.
