In the past I found two blend pumps, one Wayne and one Tokheim. Two be honest with you I could not move the Tokheim off the island alone once it was unbolted. I thought about saving the guts but decided that it was not worth risking a future back injury.I end up gutting the pump right were it stood. Let me tell you that is a hard pump to gut. Very compact with the two units crammed in the cabinet!

What I have found works well is an engine crane (cherry picker). I have never encountered a pump that heavy, but I disassembled a pair of pinsetters from a bowling alley and moved the heavy parts with the engine crane I took apart and transported in my trunk. If it's really heavy I could just bring my Bobcat..LOL!
