I think the one I know about is a AC/refrigeration vacuum pump used when servicing units.

That was it, it had the rest of the knob behind it and when I popped it out of the ground the little giant cap came off so we weren't sure which direction it was facing. I guess I had it backward. I just didn't get to get a pic of it cause the homeowner wanted it. Thank you very much he will be thrilled to know what it is.

yes Ant, i have, had a little giant sump pump, It might be the one i replaced, dont know if i tossed it but will check the basement for a corporate logo. It was very heavy old and metal. That was the first thing that came to my mind. CO
