Went for a walk today and ran across one of the "new" pumps they put in to keep our area from flooding. We've been having abnormally heavy rain and a LOT of snow this year.
Anyway, it works but "new" is relative. Fits right in with this forum...
Take one old truck, remove wheels and body (I would have left wheels on for towing), remove rear axel and install pump.
The reason for the flooding...
This housing development had been a large commercial fish pond and then a farm. There's a berm all the way around it with a small culvert through and with extra heavy rain it starts turning back into a pond. As some very well off people live here, pumps got ordered.
There's also an issue of the river rising but that normally only bothers the people who built near it, we're a bit uphill from there.
