They were just throwing these away at work

This company is always throwing away something cool. Today it was four pumps and a generator. The pumps had two 8hp motors, a 5.5hp and a 3hp engine. The generator had a 3hp. Probably very low hours.

I got one of the 8hp's and the guys on the crew got the rest.

Have to keep an eye on the dumpsters, because I just might miss something around here.

Plans are to use this engine to build a kart for my nephew. Been meaning to get him one for awhile so this is a good start.

I was off loading a truck with a coworker and he said "there throwing away pumps". Record skip noise eeerrp, what?... and sure enough the yard guy drops a pump off a fork lift down into the scrap steel bin.
The yard guy was told to drain the fluids and get rid of them so he did.
