We just got done restoring the inline PTO for our firetruck. When we got into it we found that the pump shaft was frozen. We think that the shaft has been rust-jacked ( rust pushing in on the brass wear rings). we won't open it up if we can't get new packing for it. The packing set is #5055. Any one aware of any new old stock out there?

I have and they no longer support that pump, and all their literature on those pumps state that. I can only hope that there is some new old stock around. I did talk to a parts rep today and they were able to get me an alternative to that packing, K667 then cut down to 5 5/8" long. I was incorect when i said cav 4 it is a ca 4 pump

Not sure what kind of packing you need, but check McMaster-Carr. They have a lot of different kinds. Maybe they've got something that will work for you.

Thanks for the info. We plan on starting this in late Fall and I need a compiled price list to submit before starting.
