Last April we sat down for an interview with Dale Conway, Vice President of Engineering at Thompson Pump, for our OEM Spotlight series. This month, Dale provides us with a look at one of Thompson Pump’s latest products, the 18-inch Dry-Priming Centrifugal Pump that utilizes a John Deere Interim Tier 4 Engine.

The Pump incorporates Thompson’s oil-less vacuum technology, which enables the pump to match the reduced emissions of the engine while providing improved efficiency. Watch the video below to see how Thompson Pump is utilizing John Deere IT4 Engines in their latest equipment.
