I am going to be building a two drum wagon out of an old Craftsman lawn tractor. Somewhere on this former garden tractor I am going to mount a water pump. The plans are to take an old but working lawn mower and mount the pump from a washing machine onto the mower housing. I think an idler pulley will be incorporated to keep the belt snug.

As long as the pump is lower than the level I will typically fill the drum, it will not have any problem with cavitation.

I do have some worries about too much pressure in the system but I think I can devise a spring operated pressure relief system. Or maybe I can work with the pressure relief from a water heater.
