Kevin asked if I’d show the pump I was working on but I felt I shouldn’t in his beautiful “Water.... pumping... ?” thread.
Kevin, if you see this it may be a let down of sorts. I’m just resurrecting this pump.
Not creating beauty from scratch like you.
Impeller. 5-1/2 diameter and right around 2-3/4 tall in this view. Cast iron. runs on a 3/4 shaft.
Pump body. Shown in an upright orientation, sort of. Inlet on the bottom and outlet on the top right.
The whole affair weighs 30-35 pounds.
For a 900 rpm, 641 cube, 16 valve twin cam, four cylinder.
Hundred year old 5-1/2“ centrifugal water pump. OT.

Now that’s a pump! Thanks for sharing Duey. I’ve worked on a couple “other” water pumps, and they can be a challenge as many have been pieced together over the years. Yours looks to be in pretty good shape, I wish you a speedy restoration
