That engine looks serious! Don't think hp will be an issue.

No I think hp should be good, I'm not sure what it is but I think it should be north of two hundred.
It came off of a nine foot industrial airport snow blower
It also is a two to one reduction on it

I would sell that motor and buy something less thirsty. I don't think you need a 200 GPM pump.

No, you'd just have to get a pump designed to run at a lower RPM. I'd mount the reduction the other way so you can run the engine slower to save fuel.He said its got 2:1 reduction, so that's only 100gpm..... hahahhahaa

You guys should know I only burn about two cords a year out in the shop, I have in floor heating with a lake source heat pump, so.... I'm just doing this for fun because I can , but that being said it is nice to talk to other people and get their ideas. I'm trying not to spend anymore money than necessary, I'm only using what I have in stock so to speak

That's the best reason of all! :thumbsup:
I bought four International pick ups at a sea port auction in Toledo Ohio. I bought all of them for under a 1000.00. I was in college at the time and learned a lesson that day. By the time I drove the trucks with the 345 V-8s and 4.10 gears to the farm (about a hour away) I was broke. Really liked the gas. As I typed this I was thinking that I had had it with the International engines. Guess who has a 7.3 Ford F- 350 in the driveway right now.
