    The pump jack shown at 2:30 and a while thereafter has the counterweights on a specially-built frame on the opposite side of the main shaft. This means the counterweights actually REDUCE the counterbalance effect. The crank itself is too heavy, so they had to add some weight to the other side to compensate. I've never seen this with my own eyes before. This means the sucker rod is very light... very shallow well or very thin rod or fiberglass sucker rod.

      I lived in Midland Texas from 1981-1990 and have probably seen thousands of wells and that is something I've never seen either. Looks like a seriously oversized pump jack. I guess one explanation would be that it used to pump more fluid making it more rod heavy and this was a cheaper solution than replacing the whole unit as production diminished. Just speculation of course.

    Wish NY had some of these. I think they'd come up empty though. They're so cool

    Can I assume the 2.5 HP motor is what drives this thing? If so, kinda tells you how well balanced this mechanism is.

    Why are so many of them running in reverse?

      When the pumpjack is running so the crank comes over the gearbox (at the back of the unit) moving toward the well-head, the pump is said to be running "toward the well." When the cranks are running over the gearbox in a direction that takes them away from the well, it is called, appropriately, running "away from the well." Oil pumpers are precision-balanced, but (beyond this), I don't know it makes much difference and suppose it is just to run the reduction gears inside the gearbox in both directions over the course of the pump's life to extend their operating time before they wear out.

      Drive between the cities of McKittrick and Maricopa on highway 33. You'll be blown away at some parts. You can also drive down highway 65 heading North out of Bakersfield.
