Look what I found

[Bodfish Mike]

At a garage sale
A vintage Keene 2" backpack dredge with the cutest little Two stroke Kawasaki and
a plastic Keene pump. For it's size it moves some water.
No floats but I should be able to come up with something or just use it as a high banker.
Now I'm off to go get in some trouble as I'm in California.

Nice score. Suction nozzle means you can give her some legs and make a nice little puddle jumper.

Nice! If you don't mind telling, did you make a steal on it?

Well I don't know if it was at steal at $75.00 but I thought the motor was so cool I just had to have it.
Hopefully it will pay for it's self and not get confiscated.

Great old Kawasaki engines were noisy but sure worked good, much better than the Tanaka. Last time I rebuilt one, most of the new inner parts from the newer metal pumps still worked BUT that was about 8-9 years ago so now maybe not? Good by in any mans book for a decent puddle pumper-John
