Came across a used Morgen Trailer pump with an air cooled diesel that looks to be in good shape. I haven't checked it out yet in person, but I'm wondering if anyone has anything good or not so good to tell me about them. Its got an s-tube, 5" discharge and I'm thinking it should be good for about 50 yards per hour (give or take). Any thoughts are appreciated. |

Can not tell you to much about how good a pump they are as I only used one once. But I did work on the one I pumped with. The cylinders where shot in it. You have to realize Morgen is no longer in business. Minnpar in Minnesota bought there extra parts and I guess drawings so you can get parts. If you can get it for a good price and the cylinders are good it may be worth while. You will have to decide what a good price is. A new set of cylinders will coast $5000.00. |

As kenny rogers said,ya have to know when to hold'm and know when to fold'm.My gut instinct says this is one to pass on.When purchasing a pump there are 3 things to look at 1) parts 2) service 3) support.With the economy being the way it is today there are deals to be had. |
