I have used a similar pump many times. If I can answer any questions for you I would be happy to help. I almost always have used the pump for grouting block but I have used it to pump concrete into forms a few times.

And we are very glad to have you. :thumbsup: There is no substitute for experience, and a positive, can do attitude.
I won't tell this on http://www.concretepumping.com/index.php?mode=newboard&act=forum&fid=8 but when I got the P88, I did not get any primer stuff, and the guy I bought it from said to use masonry cement. And I forgot that also. :whistling
So, I whistled up 4 yards of 6 sack mix to do the piers at my new home, T200 Bobcat with concrete bucket in case anything went wrong, and the truck shows up.....I have him add water to get a 7 inch or so slump...and load the machine hopper and start pumping (primed with water :laughing
...and promptly blew a hose end completely off!:w00t:So I cleaned up the mess, had the kid with me wash out the plugged hoses (we had lots of water available), and I fired up the Bobcat and filled the piers.
By the next job, I had the priming thing figured out, and all went perfectly well....the second job was even smoother. Now, I am looking forward to getting a real pump, if that day comes. :thumbsup:
Line or boom
Joasis : I noticed you signed on at CPA.com, so I thought I'd sign on
over here at yours.
We've been doing ICF's for 10 years now.
Did the P88 thing same as you lol.
Best thing we ever did was buy an older boom pump.
We boom our walls, and boom or line our floors.

Jo : leave the Morgen be...money pit. sell the P88.
Look for an older Putzmeister 32. 1985 to 1989
Parts and Service are excellent, and the machines are
well engineered and tough.
Budget for some fit up work
They can be had for $45K about, maybe less.
A new 305 is probably the same money.
Big Ed in Tenn has one for sale...he has pumped very little with it
and fixed it up a lot. I think it's on Don Carlson's site. concretepumpbroker.com At CPA.com there are at least 4 guys who know
those machines inside out and upside down, so you will benefit
big time from their experience.

Cripes Jo..that Morgen on ebay does look good...........
and there is a 305 with no reserve on there also
I should temper my comments before i spout. lol
Morgen parts are available only thru Minn Par, as Morgen
went under 10 yrs ago or so.Takes a lot of time to get
bits and pieces from them.
The 305 is actually a Reinert Pump made in the US for Schwing.
