:whistle:There only a handful of places that have the 815 test bench. Why the price is so high on the VP44...

I have a vp that was given to me some time ago, the guy had attempted to remove the pump on his own without researching how it was done. He didnt know the gear needed to be pulled off with the special little puller, and tried prying it off with big bars. Looks like he maybe even drove wedges in to try to pop the pump loose. He ended up breaking chunks of aluminum off the front of the pump, and ruined his chances of being able to use it as a core. He was going to scrap it along with a bunch of other stuff, my friend happened to be at this fellows house when he was loading up his trailer for a scrap run, and snatched the pump up for me. At first I told himI didnt want it, but after thinking about it a minute changed my mind. I want to tear it apart just to see what theyre all about. More of a curiosity then anything, Ive never seen the internals of one other than on a pdf on the computer.

I'm looking for a VP44 for exactly that reason I want a huge photo opt of the VP44 guts.

you mean so you can do a write up on it and maybe post up some pictures? Hmm, sounds like maybe a vp could be getting packaged up and air mailed to Idaho in the near future....I would be willing to temporarily donate it for the benefit of everybody here. Then when your done you could just send it back my way, what do ya think?
