I have seen them used to pump water on street cleaners. Gear type positive displacement. Washes the dirt off the road OK.

These pumps were used on sprayers at one time for applying herbicides. They got replaced with roller pumps because herbicide solutions don't provide any librication. Gear pumps didn't last very long when run at

This type of pump is very good for pumping lubricating oil to various parts of a large machinery. When I was in the Navy I remember a similar one used in the lubrication system of an aircraft catapult to spray oil into the power cylinder right before every shot and retraction of the power piston.

It might be good as a pump for a TIG water cooler.

Indeed, it looks like a carbonator pump, I have a similar one on my homemade tig water cooler.

some more info - this pump was not pumping water - it smells of lubricating oil, and does not have the corrosion smell of brass that has had a lot of water in it, nor an insecticide smell - I am sure it came off a large tool, probably a mill, I'm just hoping someone can recognize it so I can say what it fits and get it to a good home. Otherwise, it becomes scrap brass, and that's a real waste when someone probably has the machine that needs this.
