[QUOTE="jethro, post: 161247, member: 1297"] Hi geo2 & dwt. Yeah it looks a bit tatty but is still quite sound its been behind my shed for at least ten years. The spray bar /axle and bushings are all ok I might even fix it up and give it another run one day. Its not a runner as it is as I have robbed bits off it for other things over the years. geo2 It ran at about 20rpm so the rocks tended to slide over each other rather than tumbling and belting the bejassus out of the barrel. the diamond mesh also acted like a cheese grater on the cemented gravels. The quarter stainless mesh was a later addition for chasing sapphires at reedy creek. I sold my big 5.5hp twin impeller firefighter which really was enough pump for all but the heaviest clays, but it was too heavy for the terrain I had to carry it through. Ive got a lighter 2 stroke one now. I also bought 100m of 1.5" layflat so I could work well away from the creek in the terrace deposits. [/QUOTE]
