[QUOTE="jerry, post: 30993, member: 931"] I don't think it makes a lot of difference what is driving the pumps as long as it is the rpm they are designed for. The Honda motor is a gas one? Horse power is measured either by force or speed and gas engines come up with higher numbers than diesel because of higher rating rpm but they are not necessarily more powerful. The diesel will deliver more force with less cubic inches because of higher compression and more btu in the fuel. Have you thought about a used engine from a combine or other farm machine, then you would have a governor also? You are right though , messicks wants $3600 for that pump, if a person bought a New Holland bit by bit it would cost millions. [/QUOTE]
