I discovered that neither my Stuart #4 or 7 had a long enough crankshaft to install a drive pulley, and I don't want to put a crown into the flywheel.  Since the pump is bronze, I decided that this PM Research early bronze engine would be a good fit for the pump.  I belted it up, and it seems like it should run quite well, but only hooking it up to water will really tell. 

I considered different tanks for the water, but settled on this bucket, mostly because I had it and because it will be easy to install.  As soon as I can find a suitable base, and do a little plumbing, I should have a video, hopefully something this weekend.
