Our toy
A 1948 Maxim Pumper, 750GPM Two stage Hale pump, 150 gallons of water. This has arrived October 21, 2000 after a very long ride from Greenfield, NH. She was originally placed in service in Marshfield, Mass.

Thanks to all who have helped us with equipment, both donated and giving me a great price.
