Googling that company and model number turns up almost nothing.

This is Williams Machine in TYOOL 2016: http://www.energymfg.com/williams-manufacturing/

Does this look like the pump? http://www.energymfg.com/williams-manufacturing/pump-in-tank-valve-combinations/m40_pump.html Because "model 444" turns up exactly gently caress-all except links to that pump.

I vote change the fluid and see if it lives once you've got the driveline together. It'll probably lift the bed a few inches before a line bursts.

Well, at least it seems that entire replacement units are under $500 if the pump is hosed. Model 40 is apparently just the modern designation.

It likely isn't if there's still some oil in it.

E: Intake screen is $6.78 from the manufacturer.

Also it's kinda nice having people appreciate your junk. Like, I like all the cars I've acquired, it's just nice to have other people think they're cool too. There's not much of a story though. I've basically just been buying them as they become available from people or auctions over the past like 15 years.

Well, you could always have the wheel discs cut out and welded to new one-piece rims. Won't be supercheap but it's not uncommon since it's done for the rear wheels on tractors all the time. A good shop shouldn't have problems with centering or rebalancing when doing it.

Like, I'd be surprised if Danno doesn't have a few old tractor rims sans the discs laying around. We use them for firepits here.

Pull the 4.0, strip it as best you can, take it to a shop and have it cleaned and measured. If it's still in spec, see if it'll live again.

A shrine, more like. There will be pilgrimages.

This is actually going fairly well, as Goon projects go. Remember that Aussie who bought a van for his American vacation and ended up giving up and renting a car when the engine swap didn't work out? Or pretty much any other collaborative Goon project?

Also, speaking of all the "Roadkill should see this", doesn't Finnegan live in Georgia or somesuch? Having them flown out for a Roadkill/Roadkill Garage episode is a tall order, but Mike's house is pretty much on the way, you could stop by and rummage through his pile of SBC parts.

GADD is real and 14 might just be the only goon capable of vanquishing that monster.

Yeah, rural package delivery can be somewhat sporadic.

FedEx would never come down my driveway and the guy would only stop long enough to drop a note in my mailbox. Postwoman would tuck boxes by the back door of my house. UPS guy would come down the driveway and put a note on the door unless you caught him mid-act. Purolator guy would check every outbuilding if I didn't answer the door and then leave stuff in the woodshed.
