    Nice.... BUT I'll bet the pump is junk and it won't run for very long. In which case you still get a free engine and some scrap metal.

    My thoughts exactly. The motor is worth saving if nothing else.

    Probably a good thing I don't work at a scrap yard I'd owe them more than my paycheck probably.

    My wife calls me Sanford and Son as I am always keeping an eye open and collecting on the road. Last week I salvaged a sheet of 2" foam board insulation. Found a trailer tarp for a semi once that made an awesome top cover for wood stacks!

    Best part of being at work never know what you might find on the road or who you might meet that wants to get rid of some cords:dex:.... And the fact everyone has nicknames here
