    If it works, sell it as is.

    If it doesn't, then remove/disassemble the pump as most of it should be brass.

    If the motor runs, sell it. If not and you're inclined to do so, tear it down for the aluminum. The carb might have a bit of brass in it.

    The frame would probably go as light iron/tin.

    If the hose/wand is still usable, sell that on Craigslist.

    And what if it's a Steam Jenny or a Hotsy; a hot water high pressure washer? What are the coils inside made of?
