Gold Dredger dot Com Disscussion Forums

Needed for a little outlaw project.
Thanks, Plumas

Gettn' ready to clean out some gold king 2/2" with 3/5 hps for a legless bud,too big? John

Hi John!

A 2X2 pump probably would be too big. Intend to match with a 10" wide sluice. Have 3? Hp. Honda knockoff motor. Goal is to be backpackable.

Thanks for thinking of me,

I have a Pacific Hydrostar 98013 trash pump from Harbor Freight,2 x 1/1/2",3 hp honda clone,thats only been run the required 2 hour breakin and 1 1/2 hours of use. They cost $249 new, $150 to any GDR forum member. On their website around 26 lbs?? . Doing me no good just sittn' as have 5 keene pumps. Back won't allow hauling pumps around backpakn' which I bought it for,same as your purposes-John

Thanks for the offer John

The knockoff Honda motor I have came with a Chicom trash pump and I had hopes. Moves decent water but lacks pressure. (Says 25 meters of head on it's riveted tag, can only guess what it does at a elevation around 5,000 feet.) Anyway, not enough pressure to make things go anywhere close to right - a serious lack of suck. This backpack mercury recovery device is a 2 1/2". Think I'm going to need a real deal dredge pump.

Thanks again Hoser!

I have a p-90 off a late '80's 2" backpack dredge. It comes attacked to a 2 cycle tanaka? I think' engine' recoil starter spring broke can't find parts.
$100.00 its yours in Brookings or Grants Pass.
