[SEL] Belt driven pump

[Richard Strobel]

Howdy all;
  Well in my qwest for "owning it all," yesterday Kathy and I drove up north 
to look at what the owner said was a water pump with belt pulley.  Of course 
I thot Pump and Jack, but after 100 miles behind us I was looking at a HUGE 
domestic centrifugal ??? ( Looks like a forge blower) water pump over two 
feet tall and it did have a nice belt pulley that I'd guess at 10".  He said 
it was used to flood irrigate his crops in the ole days and was belted up to 
the old Case.  Well he never mentioned on the phone that it was still 
connected at the flanges which I'd guess were 4" pipes.  So I paid the guy 
the resonable asking price and headed home.  Return trip with tools 
scheduled soon.

  Nice road trip but woke up this morning thinking: "What the hell am I 
going to do with this?"

Any suggestions??  I would swag this as HVLP.

TIA
