    Early Washer pump repair

    Super stoked I found a broken early washer pump at the Phoenix Club swap meet last weekend. The guy I purchased it from said it didn't work and it had a broken nipple, but I didn't care, I have been searching for one for a LONGGGGGG time. All the nuts/screws had rust and there was a lot of corrosion inside where the gears were located. I cleaned and lubed the gears, took the hardware and metal plate to the wire wheel and cleaned them all up. With the cover off I put some power to the motor to see if the gears would move, and WALLAH the gears turned. I slapped some RTV on the old seal and screwed everything down. After it cured, I hooked up a hose to one end and put power on it and it started to pump water

    I knew I had a '68 broken washer pump in storage that I could use to repair this one. So I cut the nipple off that I needed with some PVC cutters and glued the nipple into place by using a nail punch inside to keep it from moving around. The adhesive I used is applied by a liquid and hardened by a UV light within a few seconds. It allows me to add layers and even sand it down.

    Tomorrow, I will attempt to integrate into my washer system. Fingers X it works..

    my experience is that gluing (50 year old )plastic does not last very long.
    i also hope for you that the drive shaft seal on this pump stil does what it is supposed to do...

    it possibly is also leaking when the pump is not operating...i.e. refill reservoir every 2nd day
