Hi Rob: Here is my Rife #10 Water Ram which is now stored away in the big shed. Mine is rust red , and that's all I can say about that. Merry Christmas.

Hi, I found a Rife Ram in an old springhouse with a roof. It was Gray on the top. The mid section, or "Air Chamber was Red" The bottom assembly was gray like the top. I am pretty sure this was the original paint on that ram. Hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for the help.When you say the top is gray does that mean from the ring cast on the air chamber and up?Hey Paul a # 10 must be pretty big based on this 5.Thanks Rob

Yes Rob. From that ring on up should be gray. Nice to watch them run too.

Hi Rob: Yes it is big . Almost got a Her... getting it out of the old place by myself where I thought I might find an engine. No engine , but I got the Rife. I think I have a Rife brochure around here someplace. Just can't put my hands on it . Happy New Year .

Default Looking for an old cast Iron Davey, Goulds, Demming or Rife "Small water ram!

Hello!

I recently Purchased a Rife 10B Serial Number 10478 Water Ram pump! The Guy I bought it from, Bought it off some Dutch Fellow up in new jersey, He Gave him 2 10B pumps one is missing the Air chamber, & when I bought the complete 10BU rife he just gave me the 2nd 10B that was missing the Air chamber Figuring I might need the parts off it or something! Does anybody know where I can get an old 10B rife Air chamber for the 2nd pump? I gave it to A freind of mine that wants to use it with his Garden & Greenhouse. But Obviously it won't work without the Air chamber. legs are missing too but it will work without them, It just Needs the Air chamber! And Im also Looking for a "Small goulds, rife, demming or like brand pump to restore to use in conjunction with my 10BU? I know about an old Fairbanks Morse Typhoon Pump that has a Broken Pulley wheel & a Gardner Denver Generator that I can Probably get & Trade for the pump! I have the Pictures of the 10BU & the 10B pump thats missing the Air chamber ! Thanks in Advance for Any & All Help! Dave!
