I collect these pumps in Australia and have the original casting moulds circa 1940's, parts here are easy to buy. I will endeavor to put a video on showing the overhaul process. they run well with a 1425rpm 1/3 hp motor with a 2" pulley which takes it to about 400rpm on a standard cast wheel
it is a easy pump to rebuild the piston comes out just unscrew it with a flat top and the two leather cups are botled together facing oppsited of each other
hi i have the same pump but in better shape , pump was rebilt but do to my stupid fault the out put line got plug and the pump blew the leathers so got to spend 14 dollards to fit it haha will put a pressure switch on it next time

just stick a weed eater motor on it, much lighter and dosent seem like it would need much power.

I have seen a similar pump powered by a small petrol (gasoline) engine.
The engine was mounted BESIDE the pump on a common mounting base.
Generally the petrol engines are a lot bulkier and heavier than an electric motor.

@tsmall06 Do you mean the rubber rings in the piston or the rubber washers for the one way check valves?

Can anyone tell me the seal placement for the water pump shown above? Thanks a lot, my dad just got one and does not know where the seals go on it.

Very interesting old pump!
I have the virtually identical piston pump built here in Australia under the (MacPhersons) "AJAX" brand name. Model "A1 1/2" meaning a 1.5" bore.
Apparently there was an "A1 3/4" which had a 1.75" bore.
There is a much updated style sold under the "Powermac" name.
I am going to restore mine.
