I know it runs, because it migrates around the yard in Chama. I don't know if it's fully functional, but I suspect it is. The pump is gas powered, and independent of the drivetrain, so I'm sure they would have replaced it (as they recently did on the K-30), and, they went through all the firefighting gear this spring.
