Well got this given to me today, was told it still pumps, it was just replaced with a new one???? it has a 1/2 horse electric motor on it but I have gat a nice little Qualcast engine to replace the electric, will just set it up as a working display piece pumping from a bucket, back to the bucket you know, just something else to muck around with, I have aslo been given an A2 but have not got it yet and will post some pics when I do.
