Output is half the piston style but I preferred the crank but it's personal preference.

John, with all your machinery, having a reasonable size tank with a convenient pump on your property makes a whole lot of sense. I even toyed with the idea a little at our previous property but never did anything. And While I'm burning up a bunch of diesel with my site prep for the new shop building here, that's not going to be "normal" going forward, so taking the 5 gallon containers to Wawa for diesel like I did today ($6.19 a gallon, down ten cents from the last time) will remain my method. It would be nice to be able to tap into the heating oil tank, but I suspect there are, um...issues...with that kind of idea. LOL

John, I appreciate the offer, but I'm tied up here looking after my 106 year old Mother. We almost never go anywhere having to look after this place, and all the animals anyway.
Maurice, It's a 2640. 1979 70hp category 2. I bought it in 1991, and with all I've done to it, it's about like a new one now, other than the way it looks.
I bought this new in 2002. I thought about selling a few times lately cuz its getting harder to use and get my body n and out of it. But like your JD... put some lipstick on it and its like new.

I pulled a huge cast iron oil burning furnace out of the basement of one of the old houses I worked on. The fuel tank was above ground outside. The guy that lived across the road drove a Diesel Rabbit. He burned the fuel out of that tank for several years after the owners gave him the tank if he moved it.
Tom M. King, you commented on your concern for sparks.
A few years ago, I had to replace an automobile in-tank fuel pump. You probably wouldn't have guessed it, but it sucked the gas THROUGH the pump, including the DC motor brushes. That surprised me. I would not have thought that it would be safe. The gas apparently cooled the electric motor parts. But even though there were carbon brushes in contact with the gas, there is no oxygen in the pump, so nothing can combust. But it made me wonder what would happen if you ran the think dry and kept trying.
The neighbors got the full tanks unloaded and set up. Two 8 foot diameter x 20 foot tall tanks. they are in a hurry to get everything ready and have them filled because they have not used up all that was purchased on last years contract. I hope they get it done. Some weeks they burn over 1500 gallons.
Best Regards, Maurice
