as you guys said i was using air but after charging it a couple of times i would grind out were the leak was the let the air out this is ware the getting lazey or in a hurry i would just un screw the pipe that had hence had the gage and hose nipple on the last time i did this the hose was not shut all the way off the gage only said 25 i have only charged it to 5 when i un screwed it i learned  air can burn your hand it shot all the way to the roof of the barn bounced then the two pices came back down air

it is 3feet by 3 feet fire box water chamber all around front and back 225 gal of water  have about 400.00 into it still have to get a pump

It is looking good.
What kind of welder are you using? Only 3 leaks isn't bad. Doesn't take much for water to find it's way through.
If you are interested in a used pump I can get take outs that are usually only a couple years old.

Looks good! Glad to see its coming along.3 leaks aint too bad!
Now is the point when it starts getting fast and exciting

i am using a stick 7018 /6011 rod  what do you mean by takeouts i was keeping an eye out for a toco 11  wille g do you have a pic of the side arm you made  has eny body seen a boiler that when you open the door there is just a grate that seperates the wood and ash  i saw this once but cant remember were still learning how to post pic but it says to much space

The pumps are from indoor heating systems that have been replaced. When they put in a new system they pull out everything and put all new pumps in it. The age of them varies but a lot of the time they are fairly new.

I would have to check with the guy I get them from. I think he has a couple Groundfos pumps that are equivalent size to a 0011.

i have many reports that grundfos are better pumps but how can i say that when my taco has been going over 10 years?  i have ever only had this one so i can offer no comparisons. those that have used them both may have honest opinions..i am not sure all dealers have honest opinions....many may say the one they make the most money on is the best?

I used a Taco 0011 in my house and it was getting really noisy randomly after a year. It may have been partially caused by a little air or something but I was never able to get it to quiet down. The impeller looked fine when I pulled it out. I used a Grundfos ever since and it was much better. I think 7 years now. They are better looking too
I got a hold of a used B&G PL36 so that is going to replace the current pump this winter.
There are a lot of Tacos out there running and they do work ok.

what kind of price are you looking at for the pump  i learned using old bed frams are hard to drill holes and a self taping screw is a no go but it was free so ill have to fig it out also found out that slag that burns trough your pants realy hurts baaaaaadddddd on your privets trying to post more pic
