This is a real nice original 5-feed mechanical oiler or lubricator for an early gas engine, tractor, or other piece of machinery. This particular one is belt drive with a round belt pulley on the side and was likely used on an an early prairie tractor or steam traction engine, particularly a Happy Farmer tractor as it still has original orange paint on the bottom side. It was made by Madison Kipp and is in excellent condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind. It seems to have very little wear anywhere on it and turns nicely and pumps oil from all 5 of the lines just as it should. The original level sight glass is good. The insides look to be in great condition but could possibly use a little cleaning as it had oil in it for many years. The outside of the case could also use a bit of cleaning but the old oil residue has certainly been a good preservative! It needs a new sight “tent” on it but that’s pretty easy to make out of a piece of clear plastic from a 2-liter Coke bottle. It mounts with two holes about 11 inches apart on center. The case measures about 5 x 11inches and is about 7 inches tall overall. Overall it is about 14 inches long. The drive pulley is about 5 1/2 inches in diameter. It has the original serial tag on the top. These Madison Kipp oilers are extremely difficult to find in the wild or even at swap meets so if you’ve been looking for one don’t miss your chance on this one. It will likely be a long time before another one turns up and it probably won’t be this nice. I can be reached at 262 573 1931 if you’d like to talk about it. The pictures tell the story.
