Chris, I can't remember exactly how the pump drive wheel was attached. Would it be possible to substitute a caster wheel?
Absolute worst case scenario would be to replace the motor-driven pump with an electric one from a newer type washer. You can feed the power to the pump from the supply to the pump solenoid. It may be a better long-term solution as a replacement pump is not something that you can find all that easily. |

Is that molded rubber around the outside, which in turn drives the pump by friction? At first glance I was thinking it was rubber in between a metal hub and metal outer ring setup to dampen noise. |

it might be caused by the pump bearing. If it is starting to seize (lack of grease, worn, etc) and now harder to turn, it overheated the rubber on the pulley due to the added friction ..... just a thought |
