You can find kits to rebuild it yourself but it takes a good press and time. Not a real easy home project. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
If you buy a replacement, make sure it is a 1953-1955st pump. A thinner fan belt (3/8") was used in those years.
