Scott- Water pump sent off today by USPS, should arrive by wednesday. $25.00 for the pump, and $20.00 for the shipping. Ross Hoevet 13665 SE Willingham Court Clackamas Oregon 97015. This should get you back in business once you get a new shaft into the housing. What exactly do you need? I don't have much, but have some spares. Ross
Scott-Received the payment and thanks for the "tip". I think these are good engines for their day. Things to watch for are; Lube the reservoir for the fan hub bearing (filler plug + engine oil), if you are going through the engine, watch for the "hidden screw" in the front filler block. This part is easy to break since it is some pot metal alloy (and the rear is a nice piece of cast aluminum..?) The flexible hose-coupling between the water pump and generator is really there to absorb "slop" between the alignment of the two components. Otherwise, these are sturdy engines. The Spicer joints on the driveshaft could be better as they tend to throw grease all over the place, and the rear axle shafts are a known weak point. Probably not their design, just the metallurgy of the day (they can snap when you least expect it, e.g, speedbumps in a parking lot! Ross
There’s a guy in Oregon, goes by the name The Flying Dutchman. I sent him my pump off my 1931 DeVaux 6-75 and he made it work and look like new. He does phenomenal work, only charged me $185, and my pump was a mess.
His number is (541)450-2277
