Hi Rob, the main pump in your washer was used from 1947-1953 only, so new ones are hard to find. You may be able to repair to old pump, the impeller was actually made of rubber, you may be able to make a replacement out of brass or copper, SS etc. A piece of heavy SS could be welded to the shaft, I did this one on an old Philco washer.
I have restored old BD WP-KM washers by installing a newer transmission and later water pump which are much more plentiful, it just all depends on how orignal you want to keep the washer under the hood. |
